About

About the area

Otranto is an enchanted place where you can experience timeless magic. An entirely medieval town-castle, overlooking a splendid sea: every street and every building is awe-inspiring. This city in Apuglia has always been a strategic one: it controls access to the Adriatic Sea and has the mountains of Albania on its horizon. After the brief and bloody Ottoman invasion, the village was transformed into a fortress protected on all sides: the architecture is punctuated by bastions, towers and walkways that spring up everywhere. Today, they often house restaurants and aperitif bars, elegantly carved out of the yellow limestone arches. The most famous monument is the Cathedral, commissioned by the Norman kings with an extraordinary mosaic depicting life in the year 1000: the depiction of King Arthur, the mythical figure dear to the warriors who came from France, is striking. There are shops catering to the desires of cosmopolitan visitors and restaurants offering the best Apulian cuisine, accompanied by local wines. And you only have to travel a few kilometres to discover exquisite beaches, such as those of Alimini and Baia dei Corsari surrounded by an unspoilt pine forest, or Torre dell'Orso and Torre Sant'Andrea joined by a footpath that runs along the edge of the high cliffs and affords superb views. These wonders make it clear why Otranto has become one of Apuglia's tourism capitals.
