Ostuni is a small city in the province of Brindisi (Puglia, Italy), with a population of about 32,000 situated about 8 km from the coast. Its main economic activities include tourism, known for its nearby pristine beaches, as well as a vibrant olive and grape agribusiness.
Ostuni area has been inhabitated since the stone age. The town is reputed to have been originally established by the Messapii, a pre-classic tribe, and destroyed by Hannibal during the Punic Wars. It was then re-build by Greek colons, since the current name derives from ""Astu néon"" ("new town"). Sacked after the fall of the Roman Empire, in 996 A.D. the town became part of the Norman County of Lecce, although from 1300 to 1463 was part of the Principality of Taranto and from 1507 (together with Villanova and Grottaglie) passed to the Dukedom of Bari of Isabella, wife to Gian Galeazzo Sforza, Duke of Milan.

Or can we pretend it's the castle of the White Magician? The look is perfect to play that fantasy :)I enjoy the rich variety of shapes who are presented from a dynasmic choice of POV!
