Visit Ginosa

Ginosa - Ginosa is an Apulian town in the full territory of the Murgia, very close to the border with Basilicata, but in the province of Taranto; it rises 240 meters above sea level and has 22,000 inhabitants. The main monument of Ginosa is the clock tower, built by Roberto il Guiscardo in 1080, as a defensive structure; the square that surrounds it is embellished by notable noble palaces.

The Cathedral of 1500 is interesting. Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, Piazza IV Novembre with their artisan shops that smell of antiquity deserve a stroll. But the absolute symbol of Ginosa is represented by its ravine. We are talking about a deep incision of an erosive nature, similar in some respects to the great American canyons, characterized by a succession and alternation of bends, steep walls, cracks and caves. A unique and fascinating panorama. Returning to the center of Ginosa, the castle bridge and the castle itself, of Norman origins, built on a plateau overlooking the city of Ginosa from above, deserve attention.
