Francavilla Fontana is called the noble city in honor of the princes who governed it, making it one of the most important cultural centers in the area. The Puglia region awarded it the title of “City of Art” in 2009. The countryside of Francavilla Fontana is dominated by olive groves, vineyards, herbaceous crops and vegetables. Francavilla Fontana is located in an area full of prehistoric and Neolithic settlements, as some local scholars claim. The first signs of organized civilizations first appeared with the Messapian settlements and then exploded in the Middle Ages with the domination of several principalities descended from the Anjou family. Hence the presence of the castle of the princes. In addition, Francavilla Fontana is home to numerous churches, including the Church of Santa Chiara. In the fascinating city center, in addition to the beautiful noble palaces, there are many confectionery shops where it is possible to taste the typical artisanal sweets: the Copeta, a crispy almond glaze and the confetti ricci, roasted almonds coated with sugar. To these flavors and aromas are added those of the surrounding countryside, full of educational farms and agriturismi, where you can taste and rediscover rural cuisine and farm life. In Francavilla Fontana, there has been a tradition for centuries of papier-mâché workers working on the polychrome papier-mâché of sacred sculptures, exhibited during the processions and religious rituals during the Easter period.
