Dating back to the invasion of Angioni, the white-washed city walls of ‘White City’ were built to protect the old town from enemy threats. After the earthquake of 1456, the Aragonese wanted the walls restored and the defensive perimeter was widened. The city would throw stones and boiling oil from the top of the walls onto any invaders below. The walls had four entrances: the Porta San Francesco, Porta del Ponte and the Porta Nova and Porta San Demetrio, but only the latter two have survived. Saunter along the walls to enjoy peaceful views of the Adriatic Sea and the checkerboard of olive groves surrounding the old city.
