Historic Centre of Otranto

Highlight • Settlement

Main attractions of the city are the Cathedral of Santa Annunziata with the mosaics (1163-1165), the fortress Castello Aragonese as well as the small Byzantine church of San Pietro and the Hypogeeum of Torre Pinta.

Above all, the old town, surrounded by a mighty city wall, is a major attraction in summer; on Saturday evening, it is the meeting place of the whole environment of Otranto. On Sunday afternoons the coast road from the Porta Terra is closed to through traffic and reserved for pedestrians (Passeggio).

View of the Faraglioni of Sant'Andrea

Highlight • Viewpoint

After having crossed the pine forest of Sant'Andrea, through a small path, we reconquer the coast; the dense and luxuriant vegetation gives us a suggestive setting.

Archaeological Site of Roca Vecchia

Highlight • Historical Site

The wide archaeological area contains important testimonies of different ages starting from the settlements of the Bronze Age. On the promontory it's possible to visit part of the town of the medieval hamlet with the remains of the surrounding walls, the church, some houses and a ritual hypogeum area. The Messapian area is also of considerable importance, with the imposing walls still clearly visible along their entire route, such as the coastal strip with traces of the foundation of square-plan buildings, the wells, the necropolis, which located both inside and outside the fenced area of the Park.

Torre dell'Orso Pine Forest

Highlight • Forest

Crossing the cool pine forest you can easily reach the splendid (but unfortunately always crowded in summer) beach of the 2 sisters.

View of the Faraglioni of Sant'Andrea (The Two Sisters)

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

One of the greatest masterpieces of Salento nature. As beautiful as they are famous, the stacks of Sant'Andrea are the apex of a wonderful Adriatic coast, to be enjoyed meter after meter without being distracted by cameras, cell phones or any electronic devilry. The eyes without the interposition of artificial filters will enjoy the show to the fullest, obviously by bike.
