The Salento pearlStaff (da sito apt) - Video by Blurissimo
Known by the nickname Pearl of Salento, Gallipoli has ancient foundations as revealed by its name which derives from the greek polis Kalé, that beautiful city. Conquered by the Romans in 265 a.C. after the fall of Taranto, the city of Gallipoli went to law in the circuit of the Appian Way which joined Rome to Brindisi. During the imperial era Gallipoli went through a period of development as a trading port along the way to the Balkans, Greece and the Eastern provinces. With the decline of Rome had to suffer the ravages of the Vandals from Africa which landed in Apulia in 450 per head to plunder Rome. Entry in the United Ostrogoths in 496, was subsequently the focus of clashes with the Byzantines during the Belisario greek-Gothic war (535-553), which finally removed the people from history Ostrogoths. As part of this conflict Gallipoli was sacked by King goto Totila in 542 AD. Immediately rebuilt and fortified by the Byzantines to defend the fleet allocated to the port, Gallipoli became a bishopric in 551 AD becoming increasingly important. In the century came the Normans who made known to the whole region as one of the greatest periods of development and prosperity then continued under the Swabians (1194-1268) with Frederick II and his son, Manfredi. Called by Pope defeated the Swabians, the Angevins commanded by Charles I besieged the city from October 1268 to May 1269. Under the Angiò Gallipoli, as well as throughout the south, was the economic policy In the fifteenth century came to power Aragoneses already allocated in Sicily for two centuries, which inaugurated a policy of development of the commercial port providing a new impetus to the Gallipoli. For three days under siege by the Venetians in 1484 Gallipoli was conquered, but kept only for one year from Venice, which had to cede back to the Aragonese. Its strategic importance to put at the center of struggle and this was again besieged in 1501 by the Spanish and the French in 1528. With the ascent to the throne of the Bourbons in southern Italy (1734), Ferdinand I of Bourbon began the construction of the new commercial port. In 1860 the city joined with plebiscite vote of the Kingdom of Italy. The town of Gallipoli today has a strong tourist vocation. But many are the attractions in the city starting from 'incredible fountain greek-roman (III sec. BC) who meet after the bridge that divides the city from the new old town. The village is surrounded by high walls that descend to the sea and dominated by the Angevin Castle (XIII and XIV century. Then changed by the Aragonese in the fifteenth century.) Unfortunately not open as home of the Command of the Guardia di Finanza. In the center meets the Cathedral of Sant'Agata built in Baroque style in 1629 on the site s'ergeva the former church of St. John Chrysostom (XII sec.). Next you see the beautiful Torre dell 'Orologio (1704-13). Other churches to visit are St. Dominic to the Rosary, S. Teresa D 'Avila, S. Francesco di Paola and S. Clear. Among the examples of civil architecture buildings include Balsamo, Pirelli and Hall Seminary (1752-56). On July 23 of each year the festival takes place in Santa Cristina, boat processions with fireworks and the next day.
