What you will experience
A journey into the heart of Turi, where silence and beauty, history and emotion intertwine.
Not just a tour, but a two-voiced narrative: that of the guide and that of the village itself, gradually revealed through alleys, churches and ancient memories.
Stops along the route
📍 Palazzo Marchesale of Turi
Meeting point and starting location.
A fascinating noble residence that introduces the civil and social history of Turi, recounting the role of the families who shaped its development over time.
📍 Church of Santa Chiara
A true jewel of the Old Town.
It houses the precious marble altar from the workshop of the Sammartino brothers, among the leading artists of 18th-century Naples, and tells stories of noblewomen, cloistered life and monastic devotion, offering an intimate and lesser-known glimpse into local history.
📍 Chapel of Our Lady of Grace
The last surviving witness of an ancient popular devotion, it bears testimony to the deep faith that has accompanied the community through the centuries.
Nearby, the old communal oven tells the story of daily life in the past, shaped by simple gestures, sharing and collective rituals.
📍 The Alleys of the Old Town
A weave of picturesque views, arches, courtyards and unexpected perspectives.
Walking through these streets, the village reveals its most authentic dimension, made of silence, details and living memory.
📍 Church of San Domenico
An impressive Baroque church that surprises with its splendour and meaning.
The magnificent gilded wooden altar and its story of social renewal highlight the central role of spirituality as a force of cohesion and identity for the community of Turi.
