PALOMBA TOWER AND MUSEUM DIOCESANO<\/h3>\n
At the back of the Cathedral there is “Torre Palomba<\/strong>“, a cylindrical tower belonging to what was once the wall of the Messapic era.
\nInside the bishop’s palace, on the left side of the cathedral, the Diocesan Museum “Kalefati” is set up.
\nInside there are numerous canvases and sacred furnishings from the churches.<\/p>\nPhone of Diocesan Museum: +39 0831 84 50 93<\/strong><\/p>\nHours (to be checked):<\/strong>

Oria Castle is one of the main attractions in the area: the huge construction, on the highest hill of Oria, has made it a national monument.
\nThe castle features many Svevo-Normanne towers, and the beautiful Normandy doorman make it an unmissable monument.
\nThe square of arms, which once contained the warriors who defended the walls of the palace, still today the triangular courtyard gives rise to a great evocative force.
\nIn the secret lies the crypt.
\nThe tower of the “jump” is so called because of a girl who threw her down from it, because she did not want to spend the night with an old nobleman.
\nUnfortunately, the castle is privately owned and it is rarely open and this prevents the tourist’s valorisation that it deserves.<\/p>\n
For info call +39 0831 840009<\/strong><\/p>\nWe also suggest you to walk in the beautiful Old Town, which is accessed by well-preserved gates.
\nFor example, by entering from Porta Manfredi<\/strong>, you immediately jump into the most frequented area with several typical restaurants and venues.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>- <\/i><\/span>\n

The Oritans have in great reverence the relics of the saint, brought to Oria by a Palestinian monk and many miracles were attributed to Him.
\n<\/i>Saint Barsanofio, was born in Egypt in the 5th century AD.
\n<\/i>And is also revered by faithful in the Orthodox Church.
\n<\/i>In Gaza, Palestine, he lived in the monastery of San Seridone far away from any human contact. He died in 540.
\n<\/i>It is said, for example, that during the 2nd World War, St. Barsanofio would lay down his blue mantle on the city, causing so much rain to prevent Anglo-Americans from bombing it.
\n<\/i>Even more disturbing is the story of allied pilots, who reported, in the astonishment of their superiors, that they saw a man in the sky covered by a long, thick gray beard that covered a huge cloak over Oria’s city To prevent the bombing.
\n<\/i>There are many witnesses from elders of the city about the truthfulness of what happened and it seems also by the American pilots themselves.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"Ostuni](\"https:\/\/www.trullodellapace.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Ostuni-1.jpg\" "\\"ptroz\\"")
