Melendugno Castle dates back to the 1500s and is the symbol of the feudal society which, under the D'Amely family, resisted until the end of the Second World War. It is located in the center of the town but it is not possible to visit the inside.

This tower of about 12 m with a particular four-pointed star plan, takes its name from the last feudal family that owned it. Also known as "Castello di Melendugno", its original construction dates back to the mid-16th century and was commissioned by Pompeo Paladini, the seventh baron of Melendugno and Lizzanello, who commissioned it to the military engineer Gian Giacomo di Acaya.
