Galatina has a very rich historical and cultural heritage that winds among churches with undisputed charm, some of which still today remain unique jewels at national and international level, such as the Basilica of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria.
The city also has a historical center that from the heart of Galatina opens its streets of basolato towards squares, courtyards and palaces that tell the story of an active Salento, where the activities of the peasants were intertwined with the lives of noblewomen and noblemen.
Every corner of Galatina offers interesting insights on the baroque world, on art and culture that have left visible signs on this city, forging the character of a "beautiful lady".
