From Castello De’ Monti to the ‘Flying Castle’. Guided tour in English


Every Wednesday at 10:00 AM



800 years of history amidst stones, legends, and the future.

Get ready for a fascinating journey through the ages!
Discover a unique medieval castle, protected by an imposing 16th-century fortress that has withstood centuries of sieges and transformations. Relive the ancient elegance of the noble court, which still echoes today through the castle’s halls and courtyards. Listen to the stories that once brought these walls to life: legends of Turkish raids, passions and battles. Admire the Baroque façade, so refined that it is considered a jewel of Lecce’s Baroque architecture.

But the story doesn’t end with the ancient past: you’ll walk amongst the still-visible traces of Salento’s vibrant modern economy. The sign for a steam mill, an olive oil mill and even a tobacco factory bear witness to a hard-working and productive region.

And today? The journey continues in the present: step aboard the Castello Volante, a contemporary creative space where art, music and food and wine breathe new life into these centuries-old stones. An experience that brings together culture, memory and visions of the future.
