Marvel at one of the most picturesque mansions in Grottaglie, the ceramics capital of Apulia. Recently opened to the public, the Dimora is not just a historic residence, but a genuine treasure trove spanning millennia of history.
You will be personally welcomed by the owner, whose dedication has made it possible to bring authentic works of art back to light. The tour begins as you step through the entrance door, where you will immediately be transported into the past: you will walk on floors dating back to Magna Graecia and admire the splendour of perfectly preserved Roman mosaics.
The experience continues in the heart of the building, among the remains of a medieval rupestrian church and the mysterious marks left by the Templar crosses, evidence of a time when Grottaglie was a crossroads of faith and knights. The route then leads to the wonderful 19th-century garden, where typical Apulian terracotta jars provide the backdrop for stories about the daily life and traditions of 19th-century Apulia.
This tour offers a perfect combination of archaeology, architecture, and ceramic art, narrated by those who have dedicated their lives to preserving the magic of this unique place.
