Corigliano d’Otranto is part of the Grecìa Salentina, a group of towns where Griko is still spoken, a dialect of Greek origin. The Castello de’ Monti towers over the village: a square plan, four round corner towers, a moat, and a Baroque façade from 1667 adorned with allegorical statues. You can explore the historic center in two to three hours, between the Chiesa Madre, the Arco dei Lucchetti, and the Torre dell’Orologio. In the surrounding area, you’ll also find two dolmens, and a quercia vallonea in town.
