Guglia di Sant'Oronzo, Baroque obelisk in Ostuni, Italy
The Guglia di Sant'Oronzo rises from the main square of Ostuni, featuring a statue of Saint Oronzo at its summit overlooking the white city.
Giuseppe Greco constructed this limestone monument in 1717 to honor Saint Oronzo, incorporating detailed inscriptions that record the city's gratitude to its patron saint.
The obelisk serves as the central gathering point during the feast of Saint Oronzo on August 26th, when local residents participate in traditional processions.
Located in the central square of Ostuni, the monument provides an excellent reference point for navigating through the narrow streets of the old town.
The stone carvings on the obelisk display intricate Baroque details that reflect the architectural style of the period and the skills of local craftsmen.
