Chiesa di San Salvatore, Monopoli

by a popular tradition it was built by a pirate who escaped a shipwreck. Ancient, a compartment is from the Paleochristian period.

This church is almost on the embankment near the castle and from it literally vehies old! And its construction dates back as much as 313 years. It's a very distinctive church. Like any solid building, Chiesa di San Salvatore has its own legend. And it says that it was financed by the captain of a pirate ship, who miraculously escaped during a storm somewhere nearby. Very dubious, of course, a legend. There are a lot of questions at once.

And ships with contents at the bottom (In a word - a legend so-so ... sewn with white threads. What can not be said about the church - it is very nothing!
