Church of Madonna della Greca

The Church of Madonna della Greca is a small, older-feeling church near the edge of the historic centre. Its stonework and quieter scale make a good contrast with San Giorgio, and it is often the more atmospheric stop.

Do not expect grand spectacle. The appeal is the sense of age and continuity, the way the church seems tucked into the old town rather than placed above it.

A story
The church preserves a more medieval atmosphere than Locorotondo's later main church. Its name recalls the Madonna della Greca, a devotion that feels especially at home in Puglia, where Byzantine and Latin traditions long overlapped.
