Inland and coastal Puglia

 Starting in Margherita di Savoia, you may visit the salt mines and the Museo Storico, exhibiting the utensils traditionally used to mine salt. On reaching Trani, the Ognissanti complex - an ancient hospital and abbey constructed to give shelter to the crusaders - is well worth a visit. From Trani, move on to Molfetta and then Monopoli, where you may admire the historical shipyards of Cala Fontanelle. Continuing southbound, we recommend spending at least a day in Brindisi, visiting the port and its fortifications. The journey continues bound for Otranto, where you will come across the lighthouse of Punta Palascìa, now restored and transformed into a virtual museum.
