Analytic text The feudal vassel of Morciano di Leuca, Gualtiero VI of Brienne, erected the casle around 1350, and the Dukes Castromediano renewed it in XVI century. The fortress has a square plan with cylindrical turrets on the corners, but only one still survives.
It is provided with fleur-de-lis merlons, trap doors, loop-holes and embrasures. 'The turreted house' quarter is situated nearby and it was the old defence of the castle. The fine parish church, a work by Giovanni Maria Tarantino, an architect from Nardò, was fortified in 1576 as a defence against the Turks. The Palaces Cacciatore e Valentini are to be noticed.
