Nardò
Although it is probably best known by tourists for the seaside resorts nearby, Nardò is an essential stop in any itinerary exploring the architectural marvels of the Baroque. From the Guglia dell’Immacolata to the Tempietto dell’Osanna, passing by the castle moat which transforms into an English style garden, the artistic creativity of the town’s monuments are testimony to its past splendour and the role of the hegemony of Nardò in the local territory. The richness extends to the historic houses and villas of the pleasant area known as “Le Cenate” which continues to be admired today by those passing by on their way to the seaside, slowing down to glimpse one detail or another and to pick out the most beautiful.
