Gallipoli Old Town and Harbor

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic center of Gallipoli is certainly one of a kind: the fortified citadel in fact stands on a limestone islet connected to the mainland by a masonry bridge dating back to the 17th century. Walking through the narrow alleys of the old city at sunset is a truly unmissable experience. As unmissable is the flavor of the "puccia" from Salento, a sandwich with a dough similar to pizza whose fillings vary from octopus to burrata and which can be eaten here in various "puccerie".

Purity Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Seno della Purità is the beach in the historic center of Gallipoli near the cathedral of Sant'Agata, made up of fine golden sand and a transparent blue sea. The name derives from a legend that tells of the discovery of the breast of the Virgin Sant'Agata right in this place. If you pass by in the evening, stop and admire the panorama illuminated by the lights of the castle and the port.

Church of Saint Mary of Purity

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of Santa Maria della Purità is a treasure trove of works of art in the heart of Gallipoli, a real art gallery where the past and devotion are told through images. Was built between 1662 and 1665 at the behest of the brotherhood of the 'Bastasi' (the longshoremen). The façade, bordered laterally by two pilasters and ending with a 'carparo' sandstone cornice, has two small windows placed in axis with the two access portals and three majolica panels depicting the Madonna della Purità, San Giuseppe and San Francesco d'Assisi. The interior, which houses a marble main altar, is decorated with sumptuous eighteenth-century stuccoes, canvases, paintings, wooden stalls and a nineteenth-century majolica floor.

Continuing along the ancient walls, it's possible to admire in sequence some worthy churches, such as that of San Francesco d'Assisi, the pure white of Santa Maria degli Angeli, that of Santissimo Crocefisso with the typical red-ocher facade and the Church of San Domenico al Rosario.

Gallipoli Castle and the Ravelin

Highlight • Castle

Inserted in the Salento Fortificazioni collection komoot.it/collection/1396951/-salento-fortificazioni - Almost completely surrounded by the sea, it stands with its imposing mass at the eastern end of the island which houses the ancient village. Built, most likely, as early as the 11th century on pre-existing Roman fortifications, it was rebuilt in the 13th century in the Byzantine era. It was remodeled several times by successive conquerors over the centuries [source: it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castello_di_Gallipoli]

Greco-Roman Fountain of Gallipoli

Highlight • Monument

The Greco Roman Fountain of Gallipoli is considered the oldest fountain in Italy. There are doubts about its origins, if dating back to the III BC. or in the Renaissance age. Today it is at the Ponte Antico and very ruined. 5 m high, the coats of arms of Gallipoli, Charles III Bourbon and Philip II are represented on it. There are three mythological scenes, the metamorphoses in sources of Dirce, Salmace and Biblide.
