A very beautiful baroque style church! The facade is in Lecce stone and is imposing and elegant. I imagine it is even more suggestive in the evening with the light effect.
The interior has three naves; the two lateral ones end with two altars, one of which is dedicated to San Pietro (patron saint of Galatina).

Hard to say how long you need to see this...it depends on your interest for detail and there is SO much of that. We had about 30 minutes but I am going back to spend more time! What an amazing place! And don't miss the little, restored pipe organ at the end on the left. A story-book church like few others!

This church, like many others in Lecce, is very Baroque in nature. The beautiful art and architecture that ornately decorates this church make it worth a visit.

It's clear that after seeing Santa Caterina, it's difficult to compete.
The facade of the Duomo stands out in the main square of Galatina and offers an excellent view from the outside.
The interiors are more ordinary, almost entirely redone at the end of the 19th century.

Gothic masterpiece churches are the cat's meow of southern Italy (most especially Puglia it seems) and Chiesa Madre dei Santi Pietro e Paolo (quite a trio and mouthful) is a fitting name for a structure so chockablock loaded with visual opulence. Combined with the Santa Catarina Basilica, Galatina packs a one two punch of Middle Ages Christian architectural achievement.
Take the time to see both these historic and reverential sites and walk about the lovely town of Galatina for a bit before engaging the nearby pristine and most engaging coastal areas nearby.

Another example of fine architecture. The inside was beautifully done as the exterior. If you like architecture the Puglia area has lots of it

It has a beautiful scenic baroque façade in Lecce stone, on which some statues are placed, including the Immaculate Conception.
The interior is very large, there are three naves marked by 3 arches placed on high pillars and the vault has frescoes on the life of St. Peter... "very beautiful".

Church visited on the occasion of the patronal feast of Saints Peter and Paul, it is worth going to see this beautiful event that still tries to keep alive an ancient tradition that links the taranta to the Catholic religion. All well organized and authentic. Galatina is worth a visit.

the cathedral of Galatina, the facade is very beautiful, the interior did not particularly impress me, perhaps after having seen that of Santa Caterina this one seemed normal to me
