The guided tour of Giovinazzo begins in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, the beating heart of the town, where the scenic Fontana dei Tritoni stands, created in 1933. From here, you enter the charming historic center, with its narrow streets and timeless atmosphere, until reaching the Arch of Trajan, an ancient gateway characterized by two elegant arches supported by milestones from the Via Traiana
A short distance away stands the imposing Torre Aragonese, overlooking the picturesque harbor. Here, the sea takes center stage: fishing boats gently sway, the scent of salt fills the air, and reflections on the water create evocative plays of light
The route continues towards the Ducal Palace, visible from the outside, where its grandeur and historical role can be appreciated. The tour concludes at the Cathedral of St. Maria Assunta, a fine example of 12th-century Apulian Romanesque architecture, with a luminous façade, rose window, and a three-aisled interior with columns and carved capitals
