Starting Point: The Tourist Port

Our tour begins at the picturesque Tourist Port of Bisceglie, the beating heart of the local maritime life. Here, surrounded by the scent of the sea and the sound of the waves, you will receive an introduction to the city’s history. We will admire the colorful boats gently swaying on the water and talk about the ancient fishing traditions that have always defined this place.

We won’t miss the chance to observe the ancient port walls up close, which testify to Bisceglie’s strategic importance over the centuries. Here, we will share stories of sailors and merchants who animated this port over the ages, transforming it into a crossroads of cultures and traditions. From this point, you can glimpse the old town, with its towers and bell towers standing out on the horizon, an irresistible invitation to explore the heart of the city.

Strolling Through the Old Town

From the port, we venture into the narrow streets of the old town, a maze of cobblestone alleys, hidden squares, and stone houses that tell tales of times gone by. Our first stop is Via Cardinale Dell’Olio, a street that preserves the medieval atmosphere intact. Here, you will feel like a traveler from the past, surrounded by historic buildings and flower-adorned balconies.

Continuing on, we reach Piazza Duomo, an iconic spot that houses the majestic Cathedral of Saint Peter the Apostle. Although we won’t enter, we will admire its Romanesque façade, rich in details carved in stone. Our narration will focus on its millenary history and the legends that shroud this building.

Nearby, we will discover the Torre Maestra, once part of the city’s defensive system. As we look up at its imposing height, we will recount the Saracen incursions and ancient battles that shaped Bisceglie’s identity. The old town offers picturesque views at every corner, with arches, secret courtyards, and artisan shops that reflect the daily life of the past.

The Gardens of Piazza Vittorio Emanuele

Returning to the center, we will pause at the Gardens of Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, a perfect spot for a short break and to enjoy a relaxing atmosphere. This large green space is the city’s lung, where residents gather to walk, chat, and spend their free time.

Surrounded by century-old trees and well-kept flower beds, we will talk about local traditions and the vibrant cultural life of Bisceglie. If we’re lucky, we might witness an event or performance organized in the square.
