Piazza Vecchia is a compact, atmospheric town square in Melissano framed by stone facades, a small church and arched porticoes — ideal for capturing intimate architectural details and everyday Salento life. Visit at golden hour or after dusk when warm façades glow and café lights activate. The square is pedestrian-friendly; limited street parking nearby. Weekdays and festival evenings offer contrasting moods. No entry fee; be respectful during religious services.
