Piazza Salandra is Salento's most surprising Baroque drawing room after Lecce: the Immacolata spire, the stone "sedile" and honey-coloured façades compose a stage set few know — which is an advantage. Nardò was long Salento's second city, its cathedral layering Byzantine and Gothic frescoes.
Its sea is the Porto Selvaggio park: cliff-top pines, transparent water and a bay reached by a woodland path — among Puglia's most beautiful stretches of coast. The negroamaro wine estates complete the picture.
