... Otranto and the area surrounding the renowned Punta Palascia lighthouse, near Monte Sant’Angelo is the Bauxite di Otranto quarry.

The "Red Lake", magical and evocative, is often a destination for school trips for the little ones, as well as visits for the curious who want to admire the evocative spectacle of the emerald green lake.

Bauxite is a mineral from which aluminum is made. The Otranto quarry has been an important source of livelihood for all those who have extracted the material in the years in which the site has remained in operation.
