About
They extend underground for about 200 square meters, Below the buildings D'Acugna and fats, which face onto Via Antonietta De Pace. Our Gallipoli are the property of the Association Gallipoli Nostra, which in 1988 had them fully restored and opened to the public use. Inside were reconstructed models of the eighteenth century, some presses Calabrese (two large screws). Originals are, however, the press Genovese (a single screw) and a few presses of the nineteenth century. The visit is particularly challenging with the help of expert guides, who make known to the visitor the techniques and phases of olive oil, thus reliving significant moments in history and local culture, as well as in times when for food oil was marketed primarily for industrial uses (in the carding of wool - especially so required by Paesidel Northern Europe, Sweden and England in the head) and for public and private lighting.

Absolutely to avoid.
I had entered the building to get a brochure and try to figure out where I was, and I was told (text): " You can't take the brochure, they're for guests." In addition to my representations, I was told: "She came in without even saying goodbye." I was really incredulous... what about Salento hospitality?
I state that I am the kind of person who greets anyone, even complete strangers...
It hurt to see this kind of attitude, strongly shrill with Apulian hospitality (I am from Taranto).
Keep your brochures, but leave your jobs to more worthy people, perhaps younger.

Historic olive oil mill that used to produced olive oil in harsh conditions to burn in lamps. Very well preserved site and well explained. In August, it opens until 10 pm, which is a blessing given the heat level earlier in the day.

On a night trip to Gallipoli we included the visit to this interesting place. It definitely worth yhe the visit. We went to this underground olive press mill to discover its history. They talked about the history and all the info about it. Cheap 2 euros ticket, nice experience.

Interesting little museum to learn more about the history of olive oil used in oil lamps. Audio in different languages available. Short, cheap and good to learn from the history of Gallipoli

Pocket hole of history easy consumed by the provision of written and voiced guides in several languages including English. Really well laid out and extremely interesting portrayal of local oil production and export along with its use throughout the ages. Well worth a look

For €3 each, this was an interesting and diverting way to spend 25 minutes. There is an english speaking tape giving visitors the background to how the facility worked and the low ceiling heights and the warmth underground, quickly gives an impression of how difficult life must have been for those that worked there.

This is the only for public available old olive oil mill in the historic centre of Gallipoli. You can experience how they worked here and it seems to be that this was not funny at all! The cellar is approx 2 meters high and the cave were full with olives. Horses or donkeys were pulling the mill stone and all of this on a few square meters.
It really add's to your experience and understanding of the culture to go here. The provided descriptions (we had a german translation) are very funny to read, seems to be translated by a "weird" computerprogramm and so you get a basic idea of what happened in here.
Go there, it cost you only €1,50 and you get some cultural isight information

Well worth a visit to see how olive oil was made and understand some of its history plus it’s importance to the economy of Italy. The conditions for the workers and their animals was horrendous.

You have to experience this cellar if you are an olive oil aficionado. The mill and machinery could almost start to the shouts of the sailors who were walking the cobblestone paths above it transporters to the finest oils!
