Cultour's Recommendation:
The Good Friday procession starts at sundown at the Church of the Holy Crucifix (Chiesa del Crocifisso).

To experience one of the most highly charged moments of the Easter festivities, take your place on the waterfront at sunset to watch the brotherhoods set out for the night long vigil.

 

Easter in Gallipoli


Each Easter, during the Holy Week, the townsfolk of Gallipoli observe one of the most intensely moving and evocative of their traditional festivals - the Procession of the Mysteries and Mary’s Desolation.
