Discover Otranto’s old town and cathedral
Otranto, Italy
Otranto combines a compact fortified centre with sea views and an exceptional cathedral interior. Make time for the floor mosaic, whose branching Tree of Life gathers biblical scenes, animals and medieval stories into a remarkable composition. The small church of San Pietro adds a Byzantine layer to the visit, while the castle and waterfront complete a varied walk. Check church visiting hours and services before planning your day, and dress appropriately for places of worship.
