Step into a one-of-a-kind medieval castle, embraced by an imposing 16th-century fortress built to be impenetrable. Travel back to the elegant world of noble courts, relive tales of Ottoman sieges and ingenious defenses. Admire a spectacular façade — regarded as one of the finest examples of Lecce Baroque.
As you explore, you’ll uncover traces of the region’s more recent past: a steam-powered mill, an olive press, and a former tobacco factory tell the story of a once-thriving local economy.
And today? The story goes on.
Climb aboard the “Flying Castle”, a vibrant cultural hub where visual and performing arts bring new life to these ancient walls. A journey through time that connects history, creativity, and the imagination of the future.
