From the prehistoric archaeological sites dating back to the Iron and Bronze Ages to the venerable basilica of San Nicola to the lighthouse of Santa Maria de Leuca - one of Italy's most important beacons - this book takes readers on a tour above the six provinces that make up Puglia. Superb aerial photographs linger on the architecture of the area - structures dating back to the 11-13th centuries that reflect strong Greek, Arab, Norman, and Pisan influences. We are whisked over the low coastline, the mountains along the Gargano Peninsula, and the ravines surrounding Grottaglia, gaining a newfound understanding of this complex region through hundreds of photographs.
