The historic center of Otranto is among the most beautiful villages in Italy, and among its streets and alleys you can breathe the scent of history that characterized it. In the fifteenth century, Otranto was attacked by the Turkish fleet, which found the resistance of the people of Otranto, intent on not giving in to the request for abjuration made by the Muslims, who killed 800 citizens on the Colle della Minerva in response, those who today represent the Saints Martyrs of Otranto, whose remains are kept in the splendid Cathedral of Otranto, of Norman origin. In the same Cathedral, Santa Maria Annunziata, you can see the largest mosaic in Italy, the Tree of Life, which extends along the naves, made by the monk Pantaleone. Otranto is also characterized by other churches that tell its story: Church of San Pietro, Church of Madonna Dell'altomare, which dominates the promenade from above, Church of Santa Maria dei Martiri, Church of Santa Maria del Passo. In the area there are also several crypts and catacombs dating back to the X / Xii century. The Aragonese Castle of Otranto, with its irregular pentagonal plan, the towers, the ramparts and the moat represents today one of the most suggestive historical-artistic attractions for tourists who come to Otranto. There are also several towers on the Otranto coast that served as a defensive bulwark against the Saracen invasions: Sant'emiliano tower, Torre Santo Stefano and Torre del Serpe, once used as a lighthouse, which today also stands out in the coat of arms of Otranto Tourist License / Licencia de turismo N °: LE07505791000001303Mehr
