"The Castle of Corigliano d'Otranto represents, according to the words of G. Bacile di Castiglione, the «most beautiful monument of military and feudal architecture of the beginning of the sixteenth century in the Terra d'Otranto», and certainly constitutes the most successful example of the transition from medieval square towers to round Renaissance ones.
The adaptation to the new war requirements, with the introduction of gunpowder, therefore led, in the sixteenth century, to the architectural revolution of the castle, which was equipped with a deep moat and agile and effective defensive structures, such as the curtains with battlements and the four circular towers, embellished with friezes, dedicated to four saints linked to four cardinal virtues".
