Grottaglie Private Tour

Having met up at Porta San Giorgio, 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 14th-century Mother Church of Grottaglie, the town's most famous religious building.

Next, we'll visit Episcopo Castle, a fortress from the 14th century. Its original structure included a rectangular keep, which was later enlarged, resulting in the Baroque façade seen today.

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

After that, we'll explore the nearby ceramics district along the San Giorgio ravine, where master ceramists established workshops and kilns in what were once oil mills. This artistic activity has earned Grottaglie the title of "the city of ceramics".

After 2 hours of exploring, we'll conclude our private tour of Grottaglie.
