THE TRIP, IN A FEW WORDS
A little time in Martina Franca.
Let the squares connect.
Start near Piazza Roma and the Palazzo Ducale exterior, then continue through the historic centre toward the Basilica of San Martino and Piazza Maria Immacolata.
This is a short walking visit without a Martina Franca overnight. An indoor palace or church visit can make it a longer stop; plan it around current entry rather than fitting it between several fixed town arrivals.

A NOTE FROM ALISHA & MATT
A few decisions
before you go.
Choose the main visit first, then fit the smaller stops around it.
Alisha & MattChoose one interior.
A palace collection and church entry should be planned around actual opening.
Pair towns lightly.
Locorotondo can follow as a separate stop if the remaining travel and meal time fit.
BEFORE YOU GO
A few good questions.
How much time does this plan cover?
This is a short walking visit without a Martina Franca overnight. An indoor palace or church visit can make it a longer stop; plan it around current entry rather than fitting it between several fixed town arrivals.
Does this depend on seasonal displays?
The main sights form the core walk. Seasonal stalls, displays and events depend on the local programme; check the visitor information linked below.
