Statua di Domenico Modugno
20 min
Domenico Modugno was an artist from Polignano who marked the history of Italian music and beyond. His famous "Volare", mistakenly known by some as "Nel blu dipinto di blu", is an ambassador of Italian music in the world and it is said that the artist wrote it thinking precisely of the cliffs of this splendid city where he was born in 1928.
Polignano wanted to dedicate a statue to him, created by the Argentine sculptor Hermann Mejer, which depicts the artist with his arms wide open as if wanting to embrace his hometown. -
Lama Monachile
15 min
Lama Monachile is a picturesque cove nestled between the rocks and bathed by the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. The atmosphere that reigns in this corner of paradise is magical and engaging, capable of captivating the senses and making you feel in communion with nature.

Centro Storico di Polignano a Mare
25 min
The historic center of Polignano a Mare is a jewel between sea and history. In the heart of the wonderful Apulian coast, the historic center of Polignano a Mare emerges as a precious treasure chest of emotions, history and timeless charm. This charming town, perched on a tuff cliff overlooking the Adriatic Sea, offers its visitors an unforgettable experience, made up of narrow and evocative alleys, breathtaking panoramic views and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.
-
Scoglio dell'Eremita
20 min
The Scoglio dell'Eremita is a place steeped in legend and suggestion, set like a gem in the crystalline sea of Polignano. To reach this solitary rock, you have to rely on small boats that ply the waters of the bay. Once you reach the base of the rock, the origin of the name appears clear: its peculiar shape, eroded by the wind and waves, recalls the figure of a monk in prayer, with his head bowed and his hands clasped.
-
Grotta Palazzese
10 min
The Palazzese Cave is an almost unreal place, where nature has masterfully shaped a unique location in the world. Once you cross the threshold of this cavity overlooking the sea, you find yourself catapulted into a dimension suspended between sky and sea. The cave, with an even older origin than the famous Blue Grotto, was literally dug out by erosion on the side of the limestone cliff. The internal environment is dominated by the living rock, which drops sheer to the water, and by the sky that generously overlooks it.
