Speziale

Speziale, in upper Salento, in the Apulia region of southern Italy, is a frazione in the municipality of Fasano. It takes its name from an apothecary (it: speziale) who once lived there. Its population was recently measured as 423.

The town has farmhouses and typical Apulian white-painted buildings. Its church, dedicated to Santa Maria del Rosario, was built in the early twentieth century. Every year, on the first Sunday of August, the town holds a festival, the Sagra della focaccia.
