Ex Convento degli Olivetani

After passing Viale dell’Università and the Obelisk, with Porta Napoli behind you, you cross a delightful tree-lined avenue along Via San Nicola, which ends in front of an imposing Doric propylaeum, the entrance to the city cemetery.\n\nIn this atmosphere of absolute silence, you enter the Olivetani convent complex. An imposing walnut tree and a splendid citrus grove welcome visitors at the end of an avenue adorned with shrubs.\n\nThose who walk through these places may see students taking measurements or hear symphonic or lyrical music coming from the mezzanine floor. This precious island of culture offers pleasant moments immersed in a rare and suggestive example of Salentine art.
