Town of the Baroque<\/h3>\nMartina Franca is the biggest<\/strong> and highest town in the Itria Valley and enchants for the abundance of its architectural decorations, made of calcium stones<\/strong> and is characterized by the mixture of Baroque and Rococ\u00f2 lines. The beauties of Martina Franca include not only the ancient monuments and little houses finished with white calcium, but comprehend also the territory around the town, which boasts wild natural glimpses<\/strong> and protected areas, all to be discovered. According to local historians, the origin of Martina Franca should date back to X Century, when on S. Martino\u2019s Mount rose up a small village of Tarantino\u2019s refugees, escaping Saracen devastations.\n
