Beginning of the visit<\/h3>\n

My guided tours of Otranto will take you on a discovery of its fortified historic center, where we will learn about a sad chapter in its history: the conquest by the Turks in 1480 and the subsequent worship of the 814 martyrs. <\/p>\n

Old Town and Cathedral of Santa Maria Annunziata<\/h3>\n

We will begin our journey in Via del Porto, from where we will enter the heart of Otranto.
\nWhen we reach Piazza Basilica, we will be facing the Cathedral of Santa Maria Annunziata, a clean, linear structure far from the ornaments of Salento Baroque.
\nThe Cathedral dates back to the second half of the year 1000 and was built on ancient remains of Messapian, Roman and early Christian villages.
\nIt has suffered numerous assaults and has been destroyed and rebuilt several times.
\nInside the Cathedral, we will admire the most extensive and spectacular mosaic in Europe, dating back to the 12th century.
\nThis masterpiece, created by the monk Pantaleon and finished in 1164, depicts the tree of life and scenes from the Old Testament, narrating man’s journey to free himself from sin and seek eternal salvation. <\/p>\n

Otranto Castle and Church of San Pietro<\/h3>\n

The guided tour will continue to Otranto Castle, where we will admire the exterior architecture of this impressive structure.
\nThe castle played a crucial role in the defense of the city and is a remarkable example of military architecture.
\nWe will conclude our visit at the Church of San Pietro, a small treasure trove of Byzantine art located in the heart of the historic center.
\nThis church, with its frescoes and architecture, offers an intimate experience of Otranto’s spirituality and art. <\/p>\n
