During the Roman Era is when the town really exploded with the new trading route between Rome and Brindisi bring vast amounts of wealth to the city.
These days, modern Polignano a Mare is a tourist hotspot with people flocking to see the stunning, whitewashed old town sit dramatically above the depths of the Adriatic sea.
