The church of St. Peter and Paul is the mother church of Galatina. It overlooks St. Peter's Square in the Old Town, where once stood the Porta Maggiore, the mother church of Saints Peter and Paul is presented with a striking façade, a sign of the Baroque style, which characterizes much of the private and religious buildings of the city. The present church is the result of a reconstruction took place between the thirties and forties of the seventeenth century, at the behest of the Universitas who gave the church a prominent role compared to the other churches in the city. The earthquake of 1743 caused serious damage and, in the second half of the century, interrupted with several reconstructions. It stands on the site of a previous religious edifice. We know for sure that in 1355 you put hand to the refurbishment of an existing chapel in which it was celebrated in the rite greek. The greek remained the official language in the rites of the church until the mid-sixteenth century. The city was, in fact, considered Greek (oppidum graecorum).

"We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and beautifully restored masseria just outside Otranto. The setting is serene, surrounded by olive groves and close to the coast, with a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. One of the highlights of our visit was the fish set menu – fresh, flavourful and beautifully presented. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the whole experience felt authentically Salento. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the best of Puglia."
