Curiosity… The name of the city of Gallipoli derives from Kale polis, a name imposed by the Hellenic colonizers coming from Greece, whose meaning is beautiful city. During 265 BC, Gallipoli was conquered by the Romans, who at that time were one of the major powers in Italy. These improved the communication systems of the city, connecting Gallipoli to the Via Traiana, this allowed a rapid passage towards the Balkans, and furthermore, they expanded and developed the port activities, thus transforming the city of Gallipoli into a military center, and later into a municipality . Subsequently, it was occupied by the Barbarians, in 450 who sacked the city, and marked one of the most terrible and cruel moments in the history of Gallipoli. During the 500s, Gallipoli, together with most of Salento, were dominated for 42 years by the Byzantines. Later, in 542 AD, Gallipoli was rebuilt from top to bottom by the Roman Empire of Onesti, who strengthened it defensive apparatus, such as the construction of the castle in defense of the historic center of Gallipoli. Gallipoli became one of the most important naval and military centers in the Ionian Sea. Furthermore, in this period, Gallipoli learned, as in all of Salento, the Greek-Orthodox religion, the traditions and the language of the Byzantines. In 710, Gallipoli was visited by Pope Constantine, who passed through there during the journey he was making from Rome to Constantinople. During the 11th century, Gallipoli and Salento were occupied by the Normans who liberated the city from the Greeks, and subsequently , after a period of tranquility, the city underwent a ferocious siege by King Charles I of Anjou, which lasted until 1268. Subsequently, it found the strength to expand, thanks to the continuous increase in port activities. After various short-term dominations , Gallipoli came under Spanish rule. During this period, there was an increase in artisan activities, mercantile traffic became increasingly important, such as the trade of oil for lamps, in short, the city became increasingly richer and more important. Subsequently, Gallipoli became part of the Kingdom of Naples, and Ferdinand I of Bourbon, began a series of improvements for the city, the most important being those of the construction of the port. During the subsequent Bourbon period, it became the district capital, and later with the unification of Italy , transformed into the capital of the district, together with the cities of Lecce and Taranto. Gallipoli today, has transformed into one of the most important tourist cities of Salento and certainly also of Italy, it has learned and is perfecting itself, giving ever more importance to tourism, without neglecting the history and traditions of the Gallipoli people
