The town has a very ancient history. As in the whole area of ​​the south east of Bari, traces of human presence have been found in Polignano, dating back to the Neolithic period.

According to some scholars, the ancient Greek city of Neapolis could be one of the two colonies that, in the 4th century BC, Dionysius II of Syracuse founded on the Adriatic coast. As mentioned, the most evident signs of the presence of man date back to the Neolithic (VI – V millennium BC).

Archaeological investigations have revealed the existence of a village dating back to the Bronze Age which, thanks to its position and natural landings, became an important port. In the 2ns millennium BC, the landing of the *Iapigi* led the villagers to move to the area of ​​the current historic center.

The frequentation of these places by Corinthian and Attic merchants is also attested, especially in the Iron Age, when the Land of Bari took on the name of Peucezia. At the beginning of the 3rd century BC, the area of ​​Polignano became an important strategic point for the power of Taranto, with which it had established commercial relations.

A thriving center of trade, it was an important statio for the Romans along the road that connected Rome to Brindisi.

In 1775 a huge tomb was found here, intact, containing in addition to the skeleton of the warrior the remains of an armor, a candelabrum, a bronze helmet and more than 64 vases and ancient objects. Sir William Hamilton, English ambassador to Naples visited the tomb calling it “Grand Mausolée”. Also the famous “Great Vase of Capodimonte” was found nearby.

  1. You guys are the very best and most comforting walkers. The videos are stunning, top quality and pay attention to all details. Amazing vibes. Keep it up 🎉

  2. I ADORE THESE LITTLE VILLAGE TOWNS WITH THEIR QUAINT NARROW STREETS…EVERY TURN IS A FEAST FOR THE EYES…LOVE ITALY…HOPE TO LIVE THERE ONE DAY…;)

  3. A little correction: Neapolis was founded with a view at the Tyrrhenian Sea, but not on the Adriatic coast.

  4. Many countries have countless amazing things to see, and a few hidden gems. Italy is the opposite : many known amazing things to see, but countless hidden gems. And hopefully, with Roma’s mayor out, the ungovernable city can build itself back from what seems to have been 5 years of neglect.

  5. I pray and pray that the beautiful old towns of Puglia don't explode in popularity and become flooded with tourists the way Venice is… it seems these towns have gone unnoticed to the international community for some reason – and sometimes I worry that these beautiful alley ways will soon be jam packed with tour groups, real estate will sky rocket, people living there will be pushed out or forced to adapt to the tourism, and gift shops and such will fill the spaces……. oh PLEASE don't let that happen, Puglia, please!!

  6. The quality of your camera is amazing, would you mind sharing which one you are using please? Thank you for the video 🙂

  7. Beautiful town but some of those houses are sitting precariously on top of rocks that are being battered (and eaten) by the sea. I hope they shore it up with some concrete rip rap to at least save and preserve the beautiful coast line.

  8. I was rewatching that vid Ric, and I had a question: seems stupid, but those who love of the very edge of the land, whose house seems to be built above the « caves »… where do the sewage go? The houses seem to be built on solid rock. Are there pipes under there somehow???

  9. I adore all the golden stonework in Italy & Southern France – it is so beautiful. This town's ancient lanes & hidden corners are a delight, and flower pots & climbing plants make it all such a pleasure. Thank you for this lovely video. This is one of my favorite hobbies now – visiting the places in Europe I will not be able to go – too old for travel now – but with your help I can see as many places as there are videos ! That sea is so blue it takes your breath away !

  10. Your beautiful videos have convinced us our trip next year will be to the Puglia region. Thank you for introducing these stunning towns to us. Cheers🇨🇦

  11. Nu recomand tuturor celor care vin aici sa vada orasul.Foarte aglomerat, mizerie la tot pasul iar la restaurant te fura pe față (coperto). Vă recomand Brindisi mai elegant.
