Piazza Salandra is one of the most beautiful squares in Puglia, not only for its Baroque buildings and the imposing column with the Guglia dell’Immacolata, but also for the charm of places that have for centuries witnessed the life of the community.\n\nThe ancient buildings house associations and city clubs that alternate with bars and artisan shops, and throughout the year Piazza Salandra is an enchanting stage for concerts and artistic and gastronomic events, in addition to hosting traditional rituals.\n\nfrequented throughout the day and rediscovered by young people seeking entertainment, Piazza Salandra is the ideal spot for tourists to take a break, discovering the customs and traditions of the city in the shadow of the Baroque. In the adjacent streets, typical eateries offer traditional dishes, and many ancient homes have been transformed into comfortable B&Bs.\n\nPiazza Salandra is also the meeting point for guided tours of the historic center, and the Sedile houses a tourist information center with bike rentals and other useful services for visitors.
