Galatina

Highlight • Settlement

Galatina is located in central Salento, about 20 km from Lecce. It is a city of art and culture, with a Baroque-style historic center and the famous basilica of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria. It is also known for the phenomenon of tarantism and every year on the anniversary of Saints Peter and Paul, on June 29, the ancient therapeutic ritual is recalled with the tarantatas who dance the tarantella to the sound of violin and tambourine.

Chapel of Saint Paul and the Tarantism Legend

Highlight • Religious Site

Overlooking St. Peter's Square, in the area of the historic center where once stood the main gate 'Porta Maggiore', the mother church dedicated to the patron saints Peter and Paul has a spectacular façade, a sign of the Baroque style, which characterizes much of the religious building and private city. Built since 1633, the current church is the result of renovations that took place between the seventeenth and seventeenth centuries. The interior, marked by three naves, has sider chapels, frescoed ceilings and several paintings and sculptures from the XVI to the XVIII century.
