The Chapel of the Holy Spirit, commonly known as the "The Chapel of the Holy Spirit, commonly known as the "Madonna dell'Altomare", stands on a hill that slopes down to the sea. In the past, a small church was rebuilt in 1744. In 1538, the Archbishop of Otranto, Bishop of Capua, he decided to give a salt of the church. During the war, the church underwent restoration work at the expense of the fishermen of Otranto and local control of the Royal Navy. Recently, we made ​​additional restoration work to return the structure to its former glory.
