Overview
A village with strong traditions that recall its past, such as the Historical Procession and the Tournament of the Rioni that animate the town every year, Oria still maintains its ancient conformation into four districts. The Castello district is the main centre of the town, with its manor built by Frederick II, narrow streets and white houses; the Judea district was once a Jewish colony, while the Lama district, located in the flat part of the town, was the place to collect the waters that flowed in from the highest parts of the town; finally, the San Basilio district stands on the hill where the saint of the same name established Oria's first Greek-rite church. A historical soul, Oria is surrounded by a landscape of enchanting beauty where olive groves and oak trees alternate with the Mediterranean maquis, between crops and wild nature.
