Descrizione
Accompanied by our guide, you’ll discover the original medieval castle, embraced by the impregnable 16th-century fortress, the opulent court life, the legends of the Turkish sieges, and the stunning façade, considered one of the jewels of Lecce’s Baroque architecture.
You’ll journey through the society and economy of Salento in the modern era, following the traces of the steam mill, the olive press and the tobacco factory.
Finally, you’ll board the ‘Castello Volante’, the centre for visual and performing arts that today brings the history of this place to life.
