Exploring Cisternino and Its Rich History

Cisternino is a town in the province of Brindisi in Apulia, located on the coast of south-eastern Italy, which is about 50 kilometers north-west of the city of Brindisi. The main economic activities of the city are tourism, dairy farming, and the growing of olives and grapes. Cisternino sits in a historic zone of the Itria Valley, which is known for its prehistoric conical, dry-stone houses that are called trulli. The trulli are preserved under the UNESCO safeguards because of their cultural significance, with dry stone walls and its fertile soil which makes it the home design of the Salento wine region. This architectural design is typical of the region with an old historical center containing white-washed, stone buildings with cool, shaded, cave-like interiors, narrow streets, and churches. The town also features several community squares, with each built on the edge of the hill allowing for some spectacular landscapes. In Cisternino and the surrounding area, there have been several Bronze Age finds, to include different types of hand tools. Evidence suggests that these were also the seasonal home to ancient hunter-gatherer humans.
