Welcome to the heart of Putignano, a place that feels like a well-kept secret. You'll want to get wonderfully lost in the circular maze of narrow, whitewashed alleyways and charming little squares that define our Centro Storico. It’s a refreshingly authentic corner of Puglia, with a quieter, more local vibe than some of our more famous neighbors. While we're famous for hosting one of Europe's oldest and longest Carnivals in the winter, visiting in the spring or fall allows you to soak up the peaceful, timeless atmosphere at your own pace.
