Porto Badisco is a seaside resort in Salento, in the municipality of Otranto, and is famous for its bay of sand and rocks, with crystal clear sea and unspoiled nature. Porto Badisco is linked to the legend of the landing place of Aeneas, the Trojan hero who fled from his destroyed city and landed on this coast, as described in Virgil's Aeneid

Historic Centre of Otranto

Highlight • Settlement

Main attractions of the city are the Cathedral of Santa Annunziata with the mosaics (1163-1165), the fortress Castello Aragonese as well as the small Byzantine church of San Pietro and the Hypogeeum of Torre Pinta.

Above all, the old town, surrounded by a mighty city wall, is a major attraction in summer; on Saturday evening, it is the meeting place of the whole environment of Otranto. On Sunday afternoons the coast road from the Porta Terra is closed to through traffic and reserved for pedestrians (Passeggio).
