"The Castle of Corigliano d'Otranto represents, according to the words of G. Bacile di Castiglione, the «most beautiful monument of military and feudal architecture of the beginning of the sixteenth century in the Terra d'Otranto», and certainly constitutes the most successful example of the transition from medieval square towers to round Renaissance ones. The adaptation to the new war requirements, with the introduction of gunpowder, therefore led, in the sixteenth century, to the architectural revolution of the castle, which was equipped with a deep moat and agile and effective defensive structures, such as the curtains with battlements and the four circular towers, embellished with friezes, dedicated to four saints linked to four cardinal virtues".

A small square at the foot of a castle, a quiet, peaceful place where peace reigns. An ideal place for a small stop, there are also two small bars if you want to drink something different from the contents of our water bottle. If you want, arriving around lunchtime, you can stop in one of the nearby taverns where you can taste some typical dishes of Salento cuisine. Walking along the small cobbled streets inside the walls and passing the village, you can take an asphalted road, not very wide, which passing through fields of olive trees and flowering meadows leads to the coast a few meters from the WWF le Cesine oasis ( left) or from S. Cataldo (right). It is one of my favorite places when I don't want to get too far.

It's a small town of just over seven thousand inhabitants. It belongs, together with the municipalities of Martignano, Sternatia, Zollino, Martano, Castrignano de 'Greci, Corigliano d'Otranto, Soleto and Melpignano, to the so-called area of ​​"Grecìa Salentina", a sub-area of ​​the province of Lecce where remains alive in some traditions the Greek-Byzantine culture spread in Puglia between the sixth and twelfth centuries and in particular the dialect, now considered as a real language, the 'griko'. The name of the town infact comes from 'Kalimera', meaning "good morning" in Greek. After all, the Byzantine influence continued to exist in the religious rite until 1663 and this also allowed the language to be preserved. Moving slightly away from the original route and follow to the right (with the church at your back) along via Montinari, the most important axis of the town, you can reach the small church of S. Antonio and the sider "hospitale" which once welcomed pilgrims and passing people. The road has beautiful courtyards, such as that of S. Calimero and S. Paolo. Some others smaller courtyards are an example of a poor peasant dwelling, equipped with a room in front (the 'sappuèrtu') which served as a tool's shed and animals'shelter.

Moving slightly away from the official route (100m on the left), at Via Garibaldi n.2 there is the San Paul chapel, a small and simple religious architecture linked to the famous myth of the 'Tarantism'. The legend told that the Apostles Peter and Paul, during their travel around the world, stopped at Galatina and were hosted by a local in their home, which stood where the Chapel is based today. To thank him for his kind hospitality, St. Paul gave man and his descendants the power to heal all those who had been bitten by poisonous spiders, defined in the dialect as "tarante". Simply by drinking the water from the well, placed inside the house and making the sign of the cross on the wound, that brutal disease could be defeated. The feast held on June 29 is linked to the figure of Saint Paul and to this legend. In that occasion crowd in the squares dancing the rhythm of the 'pizzica-pizzica' played with tambourines, accordions and singing accompaniment.

Overlooking St. Peter's Square, in the area of ​​the historic center where once stood the main gate 'Porta Maggiore', the mother church dedicated to the patron saints Peter and Paul has a spectacular façade, a sign of the Baroque style, which characterizes much of the religious building and private city. Built since 1633, the current church is the result of renovations that took place between the seventeenth and seventeenth centuries. The interior, marked by three naves, has sider chapels, frescoed ceilings and several paintings and sculptures from the XVI to the XVIII century.

It's a late Romanesque and Gothic construction, built between 1369 and 1391. The church was enlarged by Count Raimono Orsini del Balzo, while his wife Maria d'Enghien was the promoter of the splendid cycles of frescoes of the interiors (comparable to those of Assisi), for which in the fifteenth century he called the best artists of Naples. From 1494 the building belonged to the Olivetan monks and in 1597 it was entrusted to the Reformed fathers, who erected the new convent. The construction of the four-sided portico on the ground floor, with the convent workshops and the refectory, dates back to this period. Externally, the Romanesque façade is enriched by a finely decorated portal and a rose window that seems to be embroidered in the stone.

The Mother Church has a Latin cross plan and was built in 1689 on the ruins of a Greek rite church. It stands in the main square of the town called "del Sole" and is accompanied by a four-storey bell tower of which the last is octagonal. Particularly valuable are the interiors, as the Renaissance and Baroque altars and beautiful paintings. Noteworthy is the canvas of the 'Madonna della Misericordia', which offers an unprecedented pregnant Madonna. Initially the church had two naves; at the end of the XVII century it was rebuilt with a single nave. Some hatches give access to the underground tombs.

After all, the Byzantine influence continued to exist in the religious rite until 1663 and this also allowed the language to be preserved. Here, in the main square 'Piazza del Sole', stands the baroque Church of San Brizio, dedicated to the saint patron and built during the XVII century. All around, several examples of courtyards houses.
