Polignano a Mare

Polignano a Mare, birth city of the Italian singer Domenico Modugno, is situated approximately thirty kilometres from the main town of Puglia. Polignano a Mare is a town that rises out of the cliff face and, given its strategic position, has always been considered a doorway to the Mediterranean and the East, as well as an important junction and meeting point for a diverse range of cultures. Traces of the Arab, Byzantine, Spanish and Norman populations can be seen in the town planning of Polignano.
These days, the town is characterised by its crystal sea of varied hues, twelve kilometres of coast and numerous caves sculpted into the rocks: for this reason tourists have labelled this town the “Pearl of the Adriatic Sea”.
