Gallipoli

(Caddhrìpuli Gallipoli in dialect) is an Italian town of 21,038 inhabitants in the province of Lecce in Puglia.

Located along the west coast of the Salento peninsula, is the fifth city of the province by population.

It is here, along with Nardo, of the Diocese of Nardo-Gallipoli. It faces the Mediterranean Sea and is divided into two parts, the village and the old town.

The first is the newest part of the city, built on a peninsula jutting into the Ionian Sea to the west, which includes all new development, such as the Glass Palace (also called Skyscraper). The center, however, is on an island of limestone, which is connected to the mainland by a seventeenth-century arched bridge.
