The region of Apulia, also known as Puglia (its official Italian name), is another traditional and classical region in Italy that has equally (if not more) enticing sights as anywhere in the country. Apulia is shaped like a heel that is perfect for the country's boot-shaped peninsula, thus earning the title of being "Italy's boot heel".
The region is composed of five provinces (Bari, Brindisi, Foggia, Lecce and Taranto), where a good number of interesting landmarks are readily available such as cathedrals, archaeological museums, historic ruins of the Greek and Roman eras, fishing villages, medieval towns, Europe's largest forests, and fresh beaches along the Mediterranean coast.
Also, the Barocco Leccese architecture boasted by Apulia can be fully appreciated after seeing churches and palazzi in the city of Lecce.
Very peculiar is Alberobello with the picturesque view of a town formed by clusters of trulli, or whitewashed cones made of stone.
The Sanctuary dedicated to Saint Pio is also in Apulia, in San Giovanni Rotondo.
