Locorotondo

Metropolitan City of Bari · Apulia · Italy

Admission and costs
The village-street walk and Mother Church are free to enter. This proposal concerns permanent heritage, requiring no Christmas ticket and excluding commercial guided tours, refreshments and shopping.
Getting there
For arrival by car, the underground car park at Piazza Aldo Moro is a precise municipal reference point. From there, reach the centre on foot and use the Info-Point at Via Morelli 24 as your start, continuing towards San Giorgio and Via Nardelli.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
San Giorgio Mother Church in Piazza Fra Giuseppe Andrea Rodio offers an indoor stop with free entry. It is a place of worship: sightseeing fits around services, rather than treating the church as a museum.
Where to park
Use the underground car park in Piazza Aldo Moro and continue on foot to the centre.
Route and accessibility
The municipal San Giorgio listing identifies steps and a ramp for disabled visitors at the church entrance.
