Grottaglie Private Tour

After meeting at Porta San Giorgio at the agreed time, we'll begin our private tour of Grottaglie's cultural heritage.

The guided tour will start with the town's historic centre, featuring notable palaces and churches. We will visit the 14th-century Mother Church of Grottaglie, the most recognized religious building in the town.

Next, we will head to Episcopo Castle, a 14th-century fortress originally consisting of a rectangular keep. The current Baroque façade resulted from later enhancements.

The castle's former stables now house the Ceramic Museum, where we will explore rooms showcasing archaeological finds, traditional and contemporary ceramics, maiolica, and nativity scenes.

We will then visit the ceramics district along the San Giorgio ravine, where master ceramists established workshops and kilns in former oil mill spaces, contributing to Grottaglie's reputation as "the city of ceramics."

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