Property Italy: house for sale in Galatina, Puglia

Property Italy: this house for sale in Puglia's Salento peninsula is situated in the heart of the charming historical town of Galatina.

This is a detached house of 60 sqm, with a small courtyard siuated in a typical Italian square. The house comprises a living room, kitchen/diner, one bedroom, one bathroom and a storage room, vaulted ceilings and is habitable.

Galatina, in the heart of Salento, is a place rich in history, sun and natural beauties, (this is a capital of Baroque architecture). It also boasts the most beautiful bathing destinations on two coasts. You have Gallipoli, Porto Cesareo and S.Maria di Leuca, on the Ionian Coast; Otranto, S.Cesarea Terme and Castro lie on the Adriatic.

This is a superb little city, with its courtyards, aristocratic palaces, public squares and beautiful churches, of which the Basilica of Santa Caterina, has been elected national monument together with the San Paolo Church.

This last is known for its connection to the 'Taranta' myth. A kind of St Vitus Dance, tarantism is a sort of public exorcism connected to the bite of the tarantula that provokes an insane hysterical crisis and can only be liberated through music and dance, praying and drinking the miraculous water of a well in the neighbourhood of the Galatina Square in the chapel of Saint Paul. This is an Italy unspoiled and in many ways unchanged for centuries.
