Walk through the narrow streets of the historic old town to discover the "Gallipolinità", the real experience, made up of small things and great beauty.
Everyday life told by the sea, the houses made of carparo, the local tawny stone, and the Baroque churches.
A story that unfolds through fishermen's legends and the richness of lampante oil, kept in the city's underground, which made Gallipoli the
queen of lampante oil in the 1700s.
We will visit an underground oil mill, a "factory" of lampante oil in the 1700s, the courtyard houses, the noble palaces and the superb Cathedral of Sant'Agata with its 700 square meters of painted canvases and polychrome marble altars.
The walk starts near the Castle, a bulwark overlooking the sea that defended the city in centuries past.
to easily find the meeting point, near the Gran Caffè dello Sport (where you can taste the best coffee granita with homemade cream).
