Castello Aragonese, Otranto

 We only saw the castle from the outside, but it's monumental!




Otranto Cathedral

 We visited the cathedral, decorated with magnificent mosaics, which also has a chapel containing the bones of Otranto citizens slaughtered and beheaded by the Ottomans.




Otranto Cathedral

 Otranto was the place that surprised me the most. A cozy historical center, full of history and right by the sea.

Salve

 We weren't in Salve, but I found this postcard in Castro and I liked it.




Zinzulusa Cave, Castro

 There are some caves along the coast and we visited one of them, but it wasn't this one.






Chiesa dell'Annunziata, Castro

 We did a short visit to Castro, mostly by the sea, where we had dinner

Villa Sticchi, Santa Cesarea Terme

 This doesn't look like it's in Italy, but I can assure you it is.
