Go there and contact
Imposing fortress built by order of Charles V in 1539.
This imposing fortress was built by order of Charles V in 1539, on the site of the Norman castle of the Counts of Lecce (12th century). Completed in six years by Gian Giacomo dell'Acaya, it is a vast construction with a trapezoidal plan and is one of the most beautiful examples of military architecture in Puglia. It is possible to visit the underground galleries, the rooms on the first floor where archaeological material is exhibited, and the Torre Mozza, a medieval tower. The castle is also home to the Museo della Cartapesta (Museum of Paper-Mâché).
