Abbey of San Vito Martire

The Abbey of San Vito Martire is a serene religious complex located just outside Polignano a Mare, surrounded by olive groves and close to the sea. The abbey features a Romanesque church with a simple yet elegant facade, a cloister, and remnants of monastic buildings. The interior of the church is austere, with stone walls and a wooden ceiling, creating a contemplative atmosphere. Visitors can wander through the cloister, which offers a peaceful garden space, and explore the abbey's grounds that include ancient olive trees. The location provides a quiet retreat from the town, with views of the Adriatic coastline. The abbey is less frequented than other sites, making it ideal for those seeking solitude and history.
