After admiring the Angevin Aragonese Castle overlooking the sea in the port area, visit the Cathedral of Sant'Agata and be enchanted by its Baroque style which is distinctive of other churches and palaces in the historic center of Gallipoli. The beaches will enchant you and you will spend most of your time there - except when you are enjoying the freshest fish dishes! - but if you want to entertain yourself according to the local tradition even at sunset, attend a show of taranta, the typical Salento dance.
Gallipoli, "The pearl of the Ionian", is a renowned summer destination famous for its crystal-clear sea and for its nightlife that attracts many young people every year. Stroll through its historic centre surrounded by walls and reachable across the twelve-arch bridge, and visit the Aragonese Castle, a fortress entirely surrounded by the sea, and the Torre del Rivellino with an important defensive past. Don't miss the Cathedral of Sant'Agata.
