Welcome to NARDO CITY

(Translated by Google) The basilica was built in 1088, likely on the ruins of an early Christian church founded by Byzantine monks. The construction of this new church in the 11th century was prompted by the Norman conquest of the Salento region a few years earlier, ending Byzantine rule over southern Italy. The Romanesque church was elevated to the status of an abbey, handed over to the Monastery of Santa Maria della Sanità, which was inhabited by Cistercian monks of the Benedictine Order. In the 16th century, the church became a cathedral dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. In the 13th century, an earthquake severely damaged this church, destroying part of the Gospel aisle. This aisle was rebuilt years later in the Gothic style, using a local stone called carparo, which was harder than the Lecce stone used in other areas of the church. Also from the 13th and 14th centuries are some fresco paintings that can be seen in the side aisles and on some of the pillars. The most notable are the frescoes of the Pantocrator and the Madonna della Sanità, as well as the 14th-century triptych with the Magdalene, the Virgin and Child, and Saint Nicholas. Throughout the 14th to 17th centuries, several reconstructions and transformations of the building were carried out, both externally and internally. In 1743, another major earthquake struck, affecting the entire Salento region and destroying much of the city of Nardò. The cathedral suffered severe damage, with part of the bell tower collapsing and the statues in the upper part of the façade falling. The main façade was rebuilt at the beginning of the 18th century. This portal is quite simple in its composition and is divided into two sections. The lower section features three lintelled doors, with the tallest central door flanked by two double columns supporting a semicircular pediment. Two small, simple rose windows open above the side doors, completing the ensemble with six square pilasters anchored on bases that support an entablature on which the upper section rises, featuring a central rose window with four pillars with Corinthian capitals. The building is crowned by a mixed-linear pediment with a large papal coat of arms. The interior, unlike its façade, is spectacular. The cathedral has a Latin cross basilica plan with three naves divided by wide square pilasters with attached semicircular columns, above which open semicircular arches on the right side and pointed arches on the left. Above these pilasters rises a short, blind wall that supports wooden beam ceilings over the central and side naves. Several chapels with Baroque altarpieces open in the side aisles, among which the Chapel of the Souls stands out, with richly decorated helical Solomonic columns. In the Gospel nave, the Black Crucifix stands out, a 16th-century wooden sculpture of a crucified Christ, about which there is a legend. According to popular tradition, in the 13th century, Saracen pirates sacked the city and entered the church, taking the crucifix with the intention of burning it in the square in full view of everyone. As they carried it out the door, one of the sculpture's fingers broke, and blood began to flow from the severed area. This caused tremendous panic among the Saracens, causing them to abandon their plans for looting and flee the city in haste. The apse is separated from the central nave by a large pointed arch supported by two tall columns that serve as a triumphal arch. Behind the high altar is a choir stall completed in 1590. The entire apse complex is decorated with frescoes by Cesare Maccari at the end of the 19th century. The cathedral has been declared a national monument. It's free to visit and open daily from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. It's well worth a visit. (Original) La basílica fue construida en el año 1088, seguramente sobre las ruinas de una iglesia paleocristiana que habría sido fundada por monjes bizantinos. La construcción de esta nueva iglesia en el siglo XI vino dada por la conquista normanda de las tierras del Salento pocos años antes, terminando con el dominio bizantino sobre el sur de Italia. La iglesia románica fue elevada a abadía, cediéndola al monasterio de Santa Maria della Sanità, en el que habitaban monjes cistercienses de la orden Benedictina. En el siglo XVI el templo pasó a ser catedral bajo la advocación de Santa Maria Assunta. En el siglo XIII se produjo un terremoto que afectó gravemente a esta iglesia, destruyendo parte de la nave del Evangelio. Esta nave lateral se reconstruyó años después en estilo gótico, empleando una piedra local llamada carparo, más dura que la piedra leccese utilizada en otras zonas de la iglesia. De los siglos XIII y XIV son, también, algunas pinturas al fresco que se pueden ver en las naves laterales y en algunos de los pilares. Las más destacadas son los frescos del Pantócrator y de la Madonna della Sanità, así como el tríptico con la Magdalena, la Virgen con el niño y san Nicolás, del siglo XIV. A lo largo de los siglos XIV al XVII se realizaron varias reconstrucciones y transformaciones del edificio, tanto exterior como interiormente. En 1743 se produjo otro gran terremoto que afectó a toda la comarca del Salento y que destruyó buena parte de la ciudad de Nardò. La catedral sufrió graves daños, derrumbándose parte del campanario y cayendo las estatuas que se encontraban en la parte superior de la fachada. La fachada principal se reconstruyó a comienzos del siglo XVIII. Esta portada es bastante sencilla en su composición, y está dividida en dos cuerpos. En el inferior se abren tres puertas adinteladas, con el portón central más alto, flanqueado por dos columnillas dobles que sustentan un frontón semicircular. Sobre las puertas laterales se abren dos pequeños rosetones simples, completando el conjunto con seis pilastras cuadradas ancladas sobre basamentos que sustentan un entablamento sobre el que se levanta el cuerpo superior, en el que destaca un rosetón central con cuatro pilares con capiteles corintios. El edificio está coronado por un frontón mixtilíneo con un gran escudo papal. El interior, al contrario que su fachada, es espectacular. La catedral tiene planta basilical de cruz latina con tres naves divididas entre sí por anchas pilastras cuadradas con columnas semicirculares adosadas, sobre las que se abren arcos de medio punto en el lado derecho y arcos ojivales en el lado izquierdo. Sobre estas pilastras se levanta un corto muro ciego que sustenta cubiertas de vigas de madera recayentes sobre la nave central y las laterales. En las naves laterales se abren varias capillas con retablos barrocos, entre las que destaca la capilla de las Almas, con columnas salomónicas helicoidales ricamente decoradas. En la nave del Evangelio cabe destacar el Crucifijo Negro, una escultura en madera de un Cristo crucificado del siglo XVI, sobre el que hay una leyenda. Según cuenta la tradición popular, en el siglo XIII unos piratas sarracenos saquearon la ciudad y entraron en la iglesia llevándose el crucifijo con la intención de quemarlo en la plaza a la vista de todos. Al sacarlo por la puerta se partió uno de los dedos de la escultura, comenzando a derramar sangre por la zona amputada. Esto provocó un tremendo pánico entre los sarracenos, haciendo que desistieran sobre sus planes de saqueo y huyendo de la ciudad apresuradamente. El ábside está separado de la nave central por un gran arco apuntado apoyado sobre dos altas columnas que hacen las veces de arco triunfal. Tras el altar mayor se encuentra una sillería del coro realizada en 1590. Todo el conjunto absidal está decorado con pinturas al fresco realizadas por Cesare Maccari a finales del siglo XIX. La catedral está declarada monumento nacional. Se puede visitar gratuitamente, estando abierta todos los días de 8 a 13 y 16 a 21 horas. Merece la pena la visita.

The Chiesa di San Domenico, or Church of Saint Dominic, is a Catholic church dedicated to Saint Dominic, the founder of the Dominican Order. It is located in various cities, including Palermo, Italy, and Bologna, Italy, as well as other locations. The churches are significant landmarks, reflecting the history and artistic traditions of the Dominican friars. The church is one of the most beautiful monuments of the village of Nardò and deserves a careful visit outside and especially inside the church. This church has a very particular facade clearly made in different times and styles. You suddenly find it in front of you when you arrive in the square . The church of San Domenico is a church in the historic center of Nardo . The interior has a single nave with a Latin cross plan and three chapels on each side. Among the various altars, all redone, that of the Madonna del Rosario stands out with the fifteen mysteries placed on the altar on the left. Very beautiful .

(Translated by Google) Baroque triumphs on this church! The facade of the church is a masterpiece of the Baroque style, there are many details that characterize it. The church is one of the most beautiful monuments of the village of Nardò and deserves a careful visit outside and especially inside the church. The church is located in the historic center of Nardò. (Original) Su questa chiesa il barocco trionfa! La facciata della chiesa è un capolavoro dello stile barocco, tantissimi sono i dettagli che la caratterizzano. La chiesa è uno dei monumenti più belli del borgo di Nardò e merita una visita accurata all'esterno e soprattutto all'interno della chiesa. La chiesa si trova al centro storico di Nardò.

(Translated by Google) In the historic center of the town of Nardò, we find a spectacular group of buildings representative of the Baroque architecture of the Salento region. Among these buildings, the façade of the Church of San Domenico stands out. The Church of San Domenico was initially built in the late 16th century, dedicated to Saint Mary. It was part of a small adjacent monastery of the Dominican Order. In 1743, a strong earthquake struck the Puglia region, particularly affecting the Salento region. Following this earthquake, the Church of San Domenico was seriously damaged, destroying much of its structure, except for the façade, one of its walls, and part of the sacristy. After this earthquake, it was decided to begin rebuilding the structure of the church, which originally had three naves, transforming it into a single nave, which enhanced the preaching of the Dominican Order after the Council of Trent. The façade of the Church of San Domenico is a magnificent example of Lecce Baroque. The façade is clearly divided into two sections built in different periods. In the lower section, the lintelled doorway is flanked by two small Corinthian columns supporting a semicircular pediment with two stone coats of arms. Above the doorway, a frieze decorated with geometric motifs and two angels holding a crown can be seen. The ensemble is complemented by eight fluted columns with Corinthian capitals on high bases supporting an entablature. But the most significant aspect of this lower order is its extraordinary ornamentation, replete with human figures, some of them grotesque, placed like columns that act as small caryatids. Many of these human figures are plump, angel-like children (puttis), leaning on each other and alternating with pagan figures in mock-like forms wearing plant ornaments on their heads. The upper section, on the other hand, is much simpler. With a large latticed window decorated with floral motifs, flanked by two niches with sculptures of Saint Dominic and Saint Catherine. The church has a Latin cross plan with a single nave, surrounded by robust square pilasters supporting an entablature above which rises a wall of windows supporting a soft green painted wooden ceiling adorned with paintings. On the sides of the nave are six small chapels, among which the chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary stands out, with a 16th-century fresco by local painter Donato Antonio d'Orlando. The interior of the church is much simpler than the façade and responds more to the ideas of the Counter-Reformation that were established in Europe following the Protestant reforms of the 16th and 17th centuries, with the aim of strengthening the Catholic faith through greater drama in the paintings and sculptures. Outside the temple, on one side behind the church and facing Piazza Salandra, is the iconic Fontana del Toro (Bull Fountain). There is a legend about the origin of the city of Nardò that tells how a bull, by digging its paw in the ground, caused a spring of water to emerge, which became a spring, thus marking the place where the first settlements of what would become the future city of Nardò would be established. Currently, the coat of arms of the city of Nardò is represented by a bull with the Latin motto "tauro non bovi." The former convent adjacent to the church now houses an art school. Admission to the church is free, but the worship of the parishioners is always respected. This church's façade has mysterious symbolism and iconography, very elaborate and difficult to understand. The interior is worth visiting, but especially the details of the façade of this church are worth exploring. A must-see in Nardò. (Original) En el casco histórico de la ciudad de Nardò nos encontramos con un espectacular conjunto de edificios representativos de la arquitectura barroca de la comarca del Salento. Entre estos edificios destaca, muy especialmente, la fachada de la iglesia de san Domenico. La iglesia de san Domenico fue, inicialmente, construida a finales del siglo XVI, bajo la advocación de Santa María. Una iglesia que formaba parte de un pequeño monasterio adyacente de la orden de los Dominicos. En el año 1743 se produjo en la región de Puglia un fuerte terremoto que afectó especialmente a la comarca del Salento. Tras este terremoto, la iglesia de san Domenico quedó seriamente afectada destruyendo buena parte de su estructura, a excepción de la fachada, uno de sus muros y parte de la sacristía. Tras este terremoto se decidió iniciar la reconstrucción de la estructura de la iglesia, la cual, originalmente, tenía tres naves, transformándola, entonces, en una nave única, lo que mejoraba la idea de predicación de la orden Dominica tras el concilio de Trento. La fachada de la iglesia de san Domenico es un magnífico ejemplo del barroco leccese. La fachada está claramente dividida en dos cuerpos construidos en distintos periodos. En el cuerpo inferior la puerta adintelada está flanqueada por dos columnillas corintias que sustentan un frontón semicircular con dos escudos de piedra. Sobre la puerta se puede ver un friso decorado con motivos geométricos y dos ángeles que sostienen una corona. El conjunto se complementa con ocho columnas estriadas con capiteles corintios sobre altos basamentos que sustentan un entablamento. Pero lo más significativo de este orden inferior es su extraordinaria ornamentación, repleto de figuras humanas, algunas de ellas grotescas, colocadas a modo de columnas que hacen las veces de pequeñas cariátides. Muchas de estas figuras humanas son niños regordetes semejantes a ángeles (puttis), apoyadas unas sobre otras y alternandose con figuras paganas con formas burlescas que portan sobre sus cabezas ornamentos vegetales. El cuerpo superior, en cambio, es mucho más sencillo. Con un gran ventanal enrejado decorado con motivos florales, flanqueado por dos hornacinas aveneradas con las esculturas de Santo Domingo y Santa Catalina. La iglesia tiene planta de cruz latina con una sola nave, rodeada de robustas pilastras cuadradas que sustentan un entablamento sobre el que se alza un muro con ventanales que sostienen un techo de madera pintado de un suave color verde adornado con pinturas. En los laterales de la nave se abren seis pequeñas capillas, entre las que destaca la de la Virgen del Rosario con una pintura al fresco del siglo XVI, obra del pintor local Donato Antonio d'Orlando. El interior del templo es mucho más sencillo que la fachada, y responde más a las ideas de la Contrarreforma que se establecieron en Europa tras las reformas protestantes de los siglos XVI y XVII, con el objetivo de fortalecer la fe católica mediante un mayor dramatismo en las obras pictóricas y escultóricas. Fuera del templo, en un lateral a espaldas de la iglesia y frente a la piazza Salandra, se encuentra la emblemática fontana del Toro. Existe una leyenda sobre el origen de la ciudad de Nardò que cuenta cómo un toro, al escarbar con su pata en el suelo, hizo surgir una fuente de agua que se convirtió en un manantial, señalando, de este modo, el lugar en donde se habían de establecer los primeros asentamientos de la que sería la futura ciudad de Nardò. Actualmente, el escudo de la ciudad de Nardò está representado por un toro con el lema en latín "tauro non bovi". El antiguo convento adyacente a la iglesia alberga en la actualidad una escuela de arte. La entrada a la iglesia es libre y gratuita, aunque siempre respetando el culto de los feligreses. Una iglesia cuya fachada tiene una misteriosa simbología e iconografía muy elaborada y de difícil comprensión. Merece la pena visitar el interior, pero especialmente recrearse en los detalles de la fachada de esta iglesia. Una visita obligada en Nardò.

(Translated by Google) It is normally open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. It is a gem that we found when we walked in front of Playa della puritá, along the walls that overlook the Ionian Sea. A simple façade, with a fabric that veils the access to the temple, invites you to open it carefully to be surprised by the combination of elements, and especially the beautiful majolica floor with a Neapolitan air. It has something sacred and beautiful. Built in the second half of the 17th century in the historic center of the city, the church was entrusted in 1662 to the brotherhood of the same name, made up of fishermen. During the 1700s, farmers and artists were added. Together with the Crucifix brotherhood, it organizes the procession of the Mysteries of Good Friday, which participates with the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows. The façade is simple with two gabled access portals. In the center there is a large majolica panel that portrays the Madonna of the Angels with the background of the lighthouse on the island of San Andrés (in front) and the rocks of Campo and Piccioni. The interior, whose entrance is crowned by the 18th century counter-facade organ mounted in a stone choir, consists of a single vaulted nave in the shape of a star. It houses large paintings from the 18th century placed along the side walls. The works of the painter Diego Oronzo Bianchi from Manduria, the canvases of The Multiplication of Loaves, The Wedding at Cana and The Dispute of Jesus in the Temple, can date back to the 18th century. The main marble altar, made by Luigi Schiavone of Monopoli in 1865, is enriched with niches with statues of the Saints and the Virgin. In a glass case it is possible to admire the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows, carried in a procession on the occasion of the Holy Week rites. The central altar is dominated by a canvas representing Saint Mary of the Angels. On the sides, the patron saints: Saint Joseph, Saint Andrew, Saint John the Baptist and Saint Isidore. Along the walls are the seats of the confreres marked by the corresponding offices: beautiful. On April 13, 2015, after years of closure due to remodeling and restoration works, the Brotherhood reopened for worship. (Original) Normalmente abre de 10 a 13 y de 17 a 21.

Una sencilla fachada, con una tela que vela el acceso al templo invita a abrirlo cuidadosamente para quedar sorprendido por la combinación de elementos, y en especial el precioso suelo de majólica con aire napolitano. Tiene un no sé qué sagrado y bellísimo. Construida en la segunda mitad del S.XVII en el centro histórico de la ciudad, la iglesia fue confiada en 1662 a la cofradía del mismo nombre, compuesta por pescadores. Durante la década de 1700, se agregaron granjeros y artistas. Organiza junto con la cofradía del Crucifijo, la procesión de los Misterios del Viernes Santo, que participa con la estatua de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores. La fachada es simple con dos portales de acceso a dos aguas. En el centro hay un gran panel de majólica que retrata a la Madonna de los Ángeles con el fondo del faro en la isla de San Andrés (en frente) y las rocas de Campo y Piccioni. El interior, cuya entrada está coronada por el órgano de la contrafachada del S.XVIII montado en un coro de piedra, consta de una sola nave abovedada en forma de estrella. Alberga grandes pinturas del S.XVIII colocadas a lo largo de las paredes laterales. Las obras del pintor Diego Oronzo Bianchi de Manduria, los lienzos de La multiplicación de los panes, La boda en Caná y La disputa de Jesús en el templo, pueden datarse del S.XVIII. El altar mayor de mármol, realizado por Luigi Schiavone de Monopoli en 1865, está enriquecido con nichos con estatuas de los Santos y la Virgen. En una vitrina es posible admirar la estatua de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, llevada en procesión con motivo de los ritos de la Semana Santa. El altar central está dominado por un lienzo que representa a Santa Maria de los Ángeles. En los lados, los santos patrones: San José, San Andrés, San Juan Bautista y San Isidoro. A lo largo de las paredes están los asientos de los cohermanos marcados por las oficinas correspondientes: preciosos. El 13 de abril de 2015, después de años de cierre debido a las obras de remodelación y restauración se reabrió la Cofradía para el culto.

(Translated by Google) I really don't understand how, in a secular state where I pay taxes and contribute every day as an honest citizen, you are allowed to disturb the only day of rest of my week with your bells and whistles at disco volume. Being able to sleep until 9 is apparently a right that I am not granted in this country... Moreover, the escapes continue all day to mark the hours in an obsolete practice! BREAKING NEWS: we are no longer in the 18th century, we no longer need your public service that reminds us what time it is, we all have "perdicibacco" telephones! I conclude by saying that if the attempt is to bring new faithful closer to Our Lord, I assure you that what I have heard following your very delicate bells have often been unrepeatable blasphemous phrases and never "oh, the bells, they really reminded me that today I must still pray." (Original) Io davvero non capisco come, in uno stato laico dove pago le tasse e tutti i giorni contribuisco da onesta cittadina, sia concesso a voi di disturbare l'unica giornata di riposo della mia settimana con le vostre scampanate a volume da discoteca. Poter dormire fino alle 9 a quanto pare è un diritto che non mi è concesso in questo paese... Peraltro le scampate continuano tutto il giorno per scandire le ore in una pratica obsoleta! BREAKING NEWS: non siamo più nel '700, non ci serve più il vostro servizio pubblico che ci ricorda che ora è, abbiamo tutti dei "perdicibacco" di telefoni! Concludo dicendo che se il tentativo è quello di avvicinare nuovi fedeli a Nostro Signore, vi assicuro che ciò che ho sentito a seguito delle vostre delicatissime campane sono spesso state irripetibili frasi blasfeme e mai "oh, le campane, mi hanno proprio ricordato che oggi devo ancora pregare".

(Translated by Google) But can you explain to me the meaning of the multiple bell rings, of infinite duration before 9? But why should one get angry early in the morning with the impositions of the parish? What is respect for those who work at night, those who are late or those who simply want to sleep on Saturday or Sunday? It's already an imposition on the whole neighborhood to have to listen to bells, then at that volume and with that duration it really becomes an invitation to swear, especially if you are woken up. Do us all a favor, at least turn down the volume, and please, at least eliminate those useless long ringing bells in the morning. (Original) Ma mi spiegate il senso delle scampanate multiple, dalla durata infinita prima delle 9? Ma perché uno deve arrabbiarsi di prima mattina con le imposizioni della parrocchia? Il rispetto per chi lavora la notte, chi ha fatto tardi o chi vuole semplicemente farsi una dormita il sabato o la domenica qual è? Già è una imposizione a tutto il quartiere dover ascoltare delle campane, poi a quel volume e con quella durata diventa veramente un invito al turpiloquio, specialmente se si viene svegliati. Fate una grazia a noi tutti, per lo meno abbassate il volume, e vi prego, eliminate almeno quelle inutili scampanate lunghissime del mattino.
