Corigliano d'Otranto is part of the Grecìa Salentina , a linguistic island where an ancient language of Greek derivation, Griko , is spoken.
According to some hypotheses, the city of Corigliano d'Otranto would have Greek origins as it was founded during the Magna Graecia period.
Other sources, however, maintain that its birth dates back to the Roman period and, according to others, even to the pre-Roman period, thanks to the Messapians, an ancient population of the place.
The town's symbolic monument is the Castello de' Monti , a splendid place to discover and a prestigious location for sipping an evening drink in the historic center.
In addition to this place, we recommend listening to good music at the Malisud Pub in the central villa of the village and eating at Trattoria la Puteca , a place where you can savour the old flavours of Salento tradition.
