Sacred Itinerary - for two people

Service Description

A journey through art, faith, and popular tradition On this itinerary, we will explore the spiritual soul of Turi, travelling through the places that symbolise popular devotion and the town’s religious life. We will visit historic churches, altars, and works of sacred art that tell the story of centuries of lived and passed-down faith. The guide will lead you through Baroque architecture, ancient rites, legends, and curiosities linked to patronal festivities and rural spirituality. A journey that brings together silence and beauty, history and emotion—ideal for those who love sacred art, popular culture, and more intimate, evocative routes. The itinerary includes visits to the main places of worship in the historic centre, including: Meeting point and departure from Palazzo Marchesale The historic Church of San Giovanni Battista, with its 16th-century Franciscan cloister, housing works by important local masters dating from the 16th to the 18th century The fascinating Church of San Domenico, whose magnificent gilded wooden Baroque altar impresses with its splendour and its story of social renewal The jewel-like Church of Santa Chiara, guardian of the precious marble altar from the workshop of the Sanmartino brothers, among the leading artists of 18th-century Naples, and of stories of noblewomen and their monastic life The Church of San Rocco, a unique example of medieval Turi, with its characteristic chiancarelle stone structure and a history spanning centuries The Chapel of Our Lady of Grace, the last surviving witness to Turi’s deep-rooted popular devotion and faith Throughout the visit, the guide will enrich the experience with anecdotes, stories, and insights related to spiritual life and the most deeply felt celebrations of the local community.
