Touring Galatina
There are many religious architectures worth visiting, especially in the area of the historic center.
Like the Basilica of Santa Caterina d’Alessandria.
It is located in the historic center of Galatina and is a remarkable example of Gothic and Romanesque art in Apulia.
The Basilica dates back to 1391 and was built by the will of Raimondo Orsini del Balzo, prince of Soleto county.
As an ex-voto for returning victorious from Mount Sinai, where he had gone to pay homage to Saint Catherine.
According to legend, in kissing the Saint’s hand, he tore off a finger with his teeth.
He then brought with him as a relic and which is still visible and preserved inside the church.
National monument since the second half of the XIX century, it was built by Raimondello, count of Lecce and Prince of Taranto.
He wanted a sanctuary to protect the finger of St Caterina which he himself brought from the Crusades.
In celebration of its noble origins, in mid July Galatina celebrates the Medieval Night.
An evening of entertainment among historical re-enactments, music and stalls, to be enjoyed while tasting the typical delicacies of Salento cuisine.
