There are cities that you visit. And there are cities that you enter like a stage. Gallipoli belongs to the second category. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you cross the narrow bridge that connects the old town with the mainland, you can sense that a different rhythm begins here. The Ionian Sea glistens in all shades of blue, seagulls circle above the bastions, and somewhere metal beats against metal - a fisherman repairs his nets. Welcome to \u201eKall\u00edpolis\u201c, the \u201ebeautiful city\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Greeks in southern Italy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The name comes from the Greek and refers to the ancient roots of Gallipolis. Greek colonists settled here as early as the 8th century BC. Later came the Romans, then the Byzantines, Normans, Hohenstaufen, Angevins and Aragonese. Each era left its mark - and turned Gallipoli into the fascinating historical palimpsest that it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A city like a fortress in the sea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The old town is located on a limestone island just 50 metres from the mainland, completely surrounded by mighty city walls dating back to the 16th century. They were built under Aragonese rule to protect the city from Ottoman attacks. In fact, the Ottomans attempted to take Gallipoli in 1484 - with devastating consequences. Today's fortified architecture is a direct response to this threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
