サンタンドレーア島とプンタピッツォ自然公園のおすすめツーリングルート

Very beautiful, partly ancient place. . .

The oldest fountain in Europe... until proven otherwise. Given its fragility (soft Lecce stone and carparo) it is a shame that it is always attacked by atmospheric agents.

It is a classic fortified structure deeply renovated over the centuries on a pre-existing Byzantine and medieval structure.

Its Seafront and Historic Center are an unmissable destination.

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".

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.

the peninsula of old Gallipoli is beautiful
