The City of Otranto (Apulia) - Italy
Also known as The Gateway to the East, Otranto is a tourist town in Apulia, in the Province of Lecce, situated on the easternmost point of the Salento Peninsula, the ‘heel’ of Italy, which connects the Adriatic and Ionian Seas in the heart of the Mediterranean.
Otranto is a town of art and the neighbouring town is Lecce known as the Florence of the south'.
Otranto was a Greek colony which, in 281 BC, became subject to Roman rule; the Roman troops left from its port to venture East as described by numerous Latin writers. When the Roman Empire was divided, Otranto became a base for the officials of Constantinople, and the town became ever more important, to the point where, in the 4th century, Japigia, Messapia, Salento, and Calabria were collectively given the name Terra d’Otranto (Land of Otranto).
Otranto was a stronghold of Catholic civilization, resisting Turkish invasion on many occasions.
In 1480 the Turks besieged the city, and after 80 days of bloodshed the Turkish expedition commander Achmet Pascià gathered 800 men and made them choose between embracing the Muslin faith or decapitation; the 800 men chose death. Their relics are contained in 7 great cabinets, in the apse of Otranto Cathedral, where the great rock used by the invaders for the decapitation is also kept. In 1481, Otranto was liberated by Ferdinand of Aragon who then fortified it. The whole system of defence was altered by Napoleon’s troops in the early 19th century.
Salento this peninsula extending southeast between Ionic and Adriatic contains landscapes considered to be the most beautiful in Italy.
On the coast of the Adriatic sea still free from excessive tourism,visitors are rewarded with breathtaking scenery,cliffs overhanging the ocean,marine grottos and hidden inlets where one can enjoy the beauty of the sea.
Descending from Lecce often called ' Florence of the South' for the incomparable beauty of its churches and monuments,we find gorgeous locales such as Otranto,Santa Cesarea,Castro and on the extreme point of Salento Santa Maria Di Leuca.
Puglia has some of the finest and reasonably priced foods and wines in the country.
Also local restaurants, agriturismo's and cafes are all very reasonably priced.
