Known as the “Gateway to the East” and the easternmost city in Italy, Otranto was established thousands of years ago by Greek settlers from Crete. Delve into its captivating history by visiting its key attractions.

Visit the Otranto Cathedral, consecrated in 1088, which remains the largest Romanesque structure in Apulia. Marvel at the mosaic floor, composed of thousands of tiles illustrating scenes from the Old Testament and characters from Breton legends.

Examine the columns thought to originate from a Temple of Minerva, as well as the bones and relics of the Martyrs of Otranto, who perished during the 15th-century siege. Additionally, appreciate the 42 marble columns that uphold the crypt.

Proceed to the Church of St. Peter and the Aragonese Castle, which was fortified by Frederick II and reconstructed by Alphonso II of Naples between 1485 and 1498. The castle boasts an irregular five-sided design and is encircled by a moat.

Lastly, take in the breathtaking sea views: on clear days, the shores of Greece and Albania are visible across the Adriatic.
