Starting Point: The Tourist Port

Our tour begins at the picturesque Tourist Port of Bisceglie, the beating heart of the local maritime life. Here, surrounded by the scent of the sea and the sound of the waves, you will receive an introduction to the city’s history. We will admire colourful boats and talk about ancient fishing traditions that define this place.

We’ll also observe the ancient port walls, which testify to Bisceglie’s strategic importance over the centuries. From here, you can glimpse the old town, with its towers and bell towers, inviting you to explore further.

Strolling Through the Old Town

From the port, we venture into the narrow streets of the old town, a maze of cobblestone alleys, hidden squares, and stone houses. Our first stop is Via Cardinale Dell’Olio, a street that preserves a medieval atmosphere. You’ll feel like a traveller from the past, surrounded by historic buildings and flower-adorned balconies.

Next, we reach Piazza Duomo, home to the majestic Cathedral of Saint Peter the Apostle. Though we won’t enter, we’ll admire its Romanesque façade and hear about its millenary history and legends.

Nearby is the Torre Maestra, once part of the city’s defensive system. Its imposing height tells stories of Saracen incursions and battles that shaped Bisceglie’s identity. The old town offers picturesque views at every corner, with arches, secret courtyards, and artisan shops reflecting daily life of the past.

The Gardens of Piazza Vittorio Emanuele

Returning to the centre, we pause at the Gardens of Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, a perfect spot for a short break. This green space is where residents gather to walk, chat, and relax. Surrounded by trees and flower beds, we’ll discuss local traditions and Bisceglie’s vibrant cultural life.
