The services sector is characterized by banks, insurances and tourism, especially eno-gastronomic one. It is very common for tourists to visit oil mills, wine-making facilities and cellars to taste amazing local products. One of the most important culinary excellence is the "Capocollo Di Martina Franca",[7]
Main sights
[ edit ]
The town has a particularly conserved old town surrounded by stone walls with prominent Baroque gates leading to piazzas and narrow, winding streets.
Piazza Roma is the largest square in the old town, with a green space in the centre of a largely triangular grass pattern, facing the 17th-century Palazzo Ducale.[8]
Gastronomy

Martina Franca DOC
[ edit ]
The comune of Martina Franca produces a white Denominazione di origine controllata Italian wine that can be made in a still or sparkling Spumante style. The wine has a tendency not to age well , often turning from a light white color to a darker amber color and losing its fresh fruit flavors after only 3 to 4 years in the bottle. All grapes destined for DOC wine production needing to be harvested to a yield no greater than 13 tonnes /ha. The wine is made predominantly (50-65%) from Verdeca and Bianco d'Alessano which can make between 45-40% of the blend. Additional grapes are permitted up to a maximum of 5% including Bombino bianco , Fiano and Malvasia Toscana . The finished wine must attain a minimum alcohol level of 11% in order to be labelled with the Martina Franca DOC designation.[9]
