Otranto — Centro Storico & Castello Aragonese
Puglia
Otranto's old town sits inside a full circuit of 15th-century Aragonese walls and bastions, its narrow lanes climbing to a cathedral with one of Italy's largest surviving medieval mosaic floors. The walls themselves make an easy loop with harbour views, distinct from the sea-cave and lighthouse walks along the coast covered elsewhere in this guide.
