At the foot of the Salento as well as being the "capital," it is called the Florence of the South for its rich architectural heritage.

The seacoasts propose two completely different contexts, the rocky Adriatic coast, wild and low and sandy Ionian coast.

The inside of Salento is rich in villages and towns with substantial buildings, churches, monuments and traditions.

Ancient city of fishermen and sailors, Gallipoli looks towards the sea and divided into two parts, the village and the historic center.

Messapian center and Roman, then Byzantine and then the Aragonese, Otranto is built around the impressive castle and the Norman cathedral.
