Gallipoli

Gallipoli is situated on a small promontory formed by two big symmetrical inlets joined together. Its name derives from the greek and means "beautiful town". And the town is beautiful indeed. From the "Sierra dei Cappuccini" the town looms up in the distance as you get closer and the white beacon, on the island of S.Andrew, seems to come right out of the sea.
White beaches and monuments make Gallipoli a place that can't be missed.
It's particularly worth paying a visit to the fortified castle with its roundish forepart, that was put before the towers, in order to further protect the castle from being assaulted, or the several churches, such as the cathedral dedicated to S.Agata, built at the end of the 17th century by a certain Genuino.
