    The Basilica Cathedral of Sant’Agata – located in the historic center of Gallipoli – is a structure in the Lecce Baroque style whose construction dates back to the period of the Counter-Reformation in which baroque and sumptuous themes were the rule. In fact, it was built from 1629 to 1696 and the project is the work of the Gallipoli architect Giovan Bernardino Genuino.

    The Cathedral stands on the same site where a small church once stood in the Middle Ages that was destroyed in the 17th century.

    The facade of the Basilica is in carparo and is adorned with statues and decorations that recall those of Giuseppe Zimbalo, known as Zingarello, the most important and imitated sculptor of the Lecce Baroque to whom all the artists and the local style of the time referred. There are the statues of San Fausto, Santa Teresa D’Avila, Sant’Agata and San Sebastiano
