Interest
Conversano is not a tourist city, although it is a city of art. Places of historical and artistic interest are many but distant from each other and also located outside the city center, each of which has different schedules and access modes so it becomes difficult to plan times and order of the visit. Conversano of the rest is one of here places where the most famous monument, the Cathedral, is not the most important nor the most beautiful, nor the most interesting. Of exceptional interest is the complex of Santa Maria dell’Isola, often ignored by tourists. A city really to be discovered
