Otranto <\/strong> (Utr\u00e0ntu in the local dialect, Derent\u00f2 in Salento Greek, in classical Greek, Hydruntum in Latin) is an Italian town of 5,547 inhabitants in the province of Lecce in Puglia.
\nLocated on the Adriatic coast of the Salento peninsula, it is the easternmost municipality in Italy: the homonymous cape, also called Punta Palasc\u00eca, south of the inhabited center, is the easternmost geographical point of the Italian peninsula.
\nAt first a Messapian and Roman center, then Byzantine and later Aragonese, it develops around the imposing castle and the Norman cathedral. Archiepiscopal seat and important tourist center, it gave its name to the Canale d’Otranto, which separates Italy from Albania, and to the Terra d’Otranto, an ancient district of the Kingdom of Naples.
\nIn 2010 the ancient village was declared by UNESCO as a heritage witness of a culture of peace <\/strong>. It is part of the club The most beautiful villages in Italy<\/p>\n
