HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Polignano a Mare.
The historic center preserves its dense medieval street plan and whitewashed stone houses perched on limestone cliffs above the Adriatic, along with fragments of the old town walls and gates. It is administered by the municipality of Polignano a Mare rather than by a national heritage body. The old town is freely accessible, functioning as a lived-in neighborhood of shops, homes, and public squares.
About Polignano a Mare
Caves along the cliffs of Polignano a Mare in Apulia show evidence of prehistoric human habitation. The settlement later grew under Greek and Roman influence, when it was known as Neapolis, a small Adriatic port. Over the centuries it developed into a fortified Apulian coastal town whose life centered on fishing and maritime trade.
