Grottaglie Private Tour

Having met up at Porta San Giorgio at the agreed time, we'll set off on our private tour of Grottaglie's monumental and cultural heritage.

Our guided tour will begin with the town's picturesque historic centre, featuring palaces and churches. We'll visit the town's most famous religious building, the 14th-century Mother Church of Grottaglie.

Next, we'll move on to Episcopo Castle. This fortress, built in the 14th century, originally comprised a rectangular keep. It was later enlarged, resulting in the Baroque façade present today.

The former stables of this fortress house the Ceramic Museum, where we will learn about an artistic tradition that spans centuries. The museum features archaeological finds, traditional and contemporary ceramics, maiolica, and nativity scenes.

Afterwards, we'll visit the ceramics district along the San Giorgio ravine. Master ceramists established workshops and kilns in former oil mills, creating a thriving artistic community that earned Grottaglie the title of "the city of ceramics."

After 2 hours of exploring this fascinating town, we will conclude our private tour of Grottaglie.
