The Rites of the Holy Week
The Rites of the Holy Week represent one of the most popular and remarkable events in the Jonian Salento area during Easter period.
They succeed to join faith and tradition, attracting residents and tourists from neighbouring towns and the farthest cities in Italy.
The imposing procession of the Mysteries on Good Friday, characterized by cross-bearers-barefoot hooded pilgrims carrying heavy crosses through the streets of the city, creates a natural and suggestive atmosphere evoking past periods, far off everyday life.
