Excellent tour but must email in advance to check your times. Only 12€ for the tour with 4 different olive oils to taste. Very informative tour and we learnt a lot about olive trees dating back to the Roman times and olive oil making. There is a cave where the original olive presses live. This is a family run olive farm and they have A lot of passion about their olives and trees. Fantastic must see place.

The Diocesan Museum of Ostuni is found on the ground floor of the ancient Episcopal Hall, formerly the home of the Bishops of the ‘White City’. The museum, opened in August 2017, was designed to contain artworks originally housed in the Treasury of the Co-Cathedral Chapter, and from the Chapter Archeological Collections and art treasuries of local churches and monastries belonging to the Benedictine order (1519) and the Carmelite order (1730). In order to create an enjoyable, educational and cultural atmosphere, descriptions of the works of art in caption form have been added throughout the museum (an audio version is also available as an QR code for smarthphones). The aim is place our visitors, both adults and children, at the centre of the museum experience, awakening their thirst for culture via the museum’s innovative approach.
