About Gallipoli
The old town sits on a rock island joined to the mainland by a 17th-century stone bridge, ringed by Roman and Byzantine fortifications, with an Angevin-Aragonese castle, Baroque churches and a Baroque cathedral completed in 1696. Fishermen can still be heard speaking Salentino dialect. The beaches named around the town include Lido Conchiglie, Rivabella, Lido San Giovanni and Baia Verde, and Baia Verde, a few kilometres south of the centre, is where most of the big nightclubs are. The homes are scattered across a wide area around the town, some with pools.
