Nardò

Nardò is one of the towns with strong Byzantine influences.

The Municipal Library Vergari Achille hosts twenty-one thousand scientific, philosophical and theological books.

Calimera

Epicenter of the culture of the “Grecìa salentina” (name of the local area more influenced by the old Greek culture), Calimera looks like a village rich in liveliness and mystery. Here Christian and pagan cultures blend and are reflected for example in the Sacred Rock of San Vito, a megalithic block in a Christian church dedicated to the Saint much sung by local folk music . Many rituals are related to this pagan symbol in Christian land, such as the contemplation the day after Easter in order to have good wishes. About pre cristian age, just 3 km from the center of Calimera, on the road to Melendugno, you will find two ancient megalithic monuments: the Dolmen ” Placa ” and the dolmen ” Gurgulante ” . Pay a visit to the Museum of Natural History , to admire the rich botanical and paleontological collections.
