In the historic center of Otranto, the Alfonsina Tower represents the entrance to the medieval citadel. The main gate of the Aragonese city, it is well preserved and owes its name to the epigraph "ALFONSINA" which attests to its dedication to Alfonso I.

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).
