LUOGHI DI INTERESSE
The historic center of Gallipoli retains its great historical and cultural value intact.
A real pleasure to stroll through the streets of the center up to the port, a dive into the past among the many churches and ancient buildings, with style baroque to dominate the scene.
From the port it is easy to let yourself be impressed by the wonders of the Angioino Castle, characterized largely by the circular ramparts. But among the many places of of interest, including the bridge that connects the old part with the new city, at the top of the list of the most representative monuments of Gallipoli is right to place the cathedral of Sant'Agata, definitely characterized by style baroque.
Several statues like this one find hospitality on the monument of Sant'Agata, patroness of the city.
But the beauty of the cathedral also surprises for the decorations, for the facade completely made with the use of a local stone, and for its interior a Latin cross where the Doric columns and naves also stand out.
Among other churches the one of Santa Maria della Purità and the church of Santa Teresa deserve to be mentioned.
Another splendid jewel of the Ionian Sea resort is the ancient Greek Fountain, a beautiful sixteenth-century sculpture with mythological-themed decorations and figures.
