Rows of lush citrus orchards signal your arrival in Palagiano, proudly known across Apulia as the "City of the Clementines". This agricultural hub is the primary producer of the PGI-certified Clementine of the Gulf of Taranto, driving the regional economy with its sweet, seedless fruit.
Home to just over 16,000 residents, the town inspired a famous regional proverb: "ie semb fest a Polaschen", meaning it is always a holiday in Palagiano. While the reality is a busy farming community, picking up a crate of freshly harvested clementines from a local grower feels like a small celebration.
