Territory and its offerings

Tricase

Casa Liquilab is for people who love the ancient town of Tricase without giving up the comforts that can offer a modern city. When you pass the pedestrian access, you are in the main square of the town, Piazza Pisanelli, surrounded by the Palace of the Prince Gallone, the Church of San Domenico, the Church of Natività of Beata Vergine Maria. Past the Church of San Domenico, we get in to Piazzetta Dell'Abate where there is the Liquilab - Bottega di Memorie e Identità Giovanili, a socio-anthropological and historical-artistic point of interest, located in the former Dominican Convent.
