    The Castle of Acaya was built to protect the fortified citadel by Gian Giacomo dell'Acaya, trusted architect of Charles V, who had been entrusted with the strengthening of the defensive walls of Lecce and its castle. He did the same here, between 1521 and 1535, transforming the small agricultural village into a typically Renaissance fortress.

      The Castle is built where once stood the small medieval settlement Segine, a center that in 1535 took the name of Acaya from the baronial family owned.

        The Castle is beautiful. The Borgo is very clean and tidy.
