Sternatia is part of Grecìa Salentina, a linguistic enclave where Griko, a Greek-origin idiom, is spoken. In 1964, a survey showed nearly 75% of its inhabitants spoke it, the highest rate in the area. The old town preserves Porta Filìa, one of the four gates opened in the 16th-century ramparts, and a frantoio ipogeo, an underground olive mill from the mid-15th century. The 18th-century Baroque Palazzo Granafei stands on the site of an ancient castle.
