Why you should join this experience:
The visit begins at the “Basilica di Santa Caterina d’Alessandria” (Basilica of St Catherine of Alexandria), the most beautiful and important church in the city. Here you can admire the great beauty of its pictorial ornaments/work, considered by historians to be second only to the Basilica di San Francesco d’Assisi!
Its cloister, which houses a small museum, is also rich in decorations and frescoes.
Another must-see is the ancient Pozzo di San Paolo, a place linked to the mysterious phenomenon of Tarantismo. Here, in ancient times, the inhabitants went to ask the patron saint’s help to heal them from the bite of the poisonous spider and drink his miraculous water.
The walk will end with a moment of refreshment in which you can taste the delicious “Pasticciotto”, an inimitable Salento cake created in this town!
