Tips
It's the beautiful urban beach of Gallipoli, a crescent of white sand just below the ramparts of the ancient city. Among the curiosities, it's said that since the second half of the nineteenth century, was developed the practice of equipping the beach with mobile wooden structures, changing rooms and verandas. Stilt houses were fixed into the water with small ladders, which allowed easier and privileged entry into the water. Their use continued until the 1960s.

Spiaggia della Purità, the Gallipoli people are rightly proud of it. The only beach in the historic center close to the city walls.
