The church of St. Peter and Paul is the mother church of Galatina. It overlooks St. Peter's Square in the Old Town, where once stood the Porta Maggiore, the mother church of Saints Peter and Paul is presented with a striking façade, a sign of the Baroque style, which characterizes much of the private and religious buildings of the city. The present church is the result of a reconstruction took place between the thirties and forties of the seventeenth century, at the behest of the Universitas who gave the church a prominent role compared to the other churches in the city. The earthquake of 1743 caused serious damage and, in the second half of the century, interrupted with several reconstructions. It stands on the site of a previous religious edifice. We know for sure that in 1355 you put hand to the refurbishment of an existing chapel in which it was celebrated in the rite greek. The greek remained the official language in the rites of the church until the mid-sixteenth century. The city was, in fact, considered Greek (oppidum graecorum).

„È stato tutto ottimo tranne il fatto che la tassa di soggiorno non è stata quella che doveva essere. Ci hanno detto che il sito non ha aggiornato il tariffario. Nel complesso appartamento pulito mi aspettavo anche gli asciugamani ma non c’erano (quindi portateveli). E nell’appartamento c’è solo una portafinestra quindi di notte bisogna stare per forza con il clima acceso perché non c’è aria.“
