 * 1) 3 Lama Monachile (in via S.Vito), the famous cove of white pebbles set between rocky walls and bathed by crystal clear waters with sea caves, is what best represents the city, impossible not to notice since it is located in the centre of the city. Thanks to the two rocky walls that fall overhanging the sea and surround the inlet of sand and water, it has become a must-see attraction and, now, also to be photographed. The best way to admire it is from the Bourbon bridge, then descending towards the shore via the large stone staircase on one of the sides.
 * 2) 4 The old town of Polignano has undergone the passage of various cultures over the centuries, the Arab, Byzantine, Spanish, Roman up to the Norman one whose testimonies have remained in it. Many of the streets, doors or walls of the typical white houses with their flowered balconies are covered with writings depicting poems and verses of songs thus creating a pleasant atmosphere both day and night with the light of the sun, moon or warm light streetlamps.
 * 3) 5 The Abbey of San Vito Martire (passing through via S. Vito) is a few kilometers from the centre and overlooks the sea thus, in addition to admiring its interiors, you can enjoy all the stillness of the area and its immense surrounding landscape, rich in the most varied colors of all the fishermen's boats in the marina in the natural inlet, right in front of the abbey. The church, of Benedictine foundation, was designed in the 10th century: before it was a convent that today has become a private home but still accessible to everyone. If you are nearby in the first half of June, you should drop by on the 14th of the month to attend the evocative annual procession by sea of the relics of San Vito.
