Grottaglie Private Tour

Meet at Porta San Giorgio at the arranged time for the private tour of Grottaglie's monumental and cultural heritage.

The guided tour begins in the town's historic centre, featuring palaces and churches. Visit the 14th-century Mother Church of Grottaglie, the town's most notable religious building.

Next, proceed to Episcopo Castle, a 14th-century fortress with a rectangular keep and a Baroque façade resulting from later alterations.

The castle's former stables house the Ceramic Museum, where you will learn about an artistic tradition spanning centuries. The museum showcases archaeological finds, traditional and contemporary ceramics, maiolica, and nativity scenes.

Then, visit the nearby ceramics district along the San Giorgio ravine, where master ceramists established workshops and kilns in spaces previously used as oil mills. Grottaglie is known as "the city of ceramics".

After spending 2 hours exploring this town, the private tour of Grottaglie will conclude.
