Francavilla Fontana
A walkable town in Apulia's Salento peninsula with a centre full of cafés and a notable concentration of historic churches, Francavilla Fontana was long dominated by the Imperiali, a noble family whose feudal rule from the late 16th to the 18th century made it one of the region's leading cultural centres. The town holds a regional designation as a città d'arte and sits along the route of the ancient Via Appia between Brindisi and Taranto.
