| Populina castle |
One of the most interesting places I visited in Italy were the Eustrian ancient burials at Barritti and Populina. The history is quite fascinating and we were taken into one of the largest burial domes, which was incredible to see. The dome was divided into different rooms and so spacious it felt rather more like a very dark home than a place of burial.
My children also found the burials great as everywhere you looked there were geckos sunbathing, which my children would try and sneak up on a photograph before they scuttled off, which is quite difficult but fun.
Barritti is on the coast and has fantastic sandy beaches and sea views, whilst Populina is on the hill above. Populina has a sweet little church, a street of interesting little shops and a castle. The castle was an absolute bargain, only two euro's to get into and the views from the top were staggeringly picturesque.
