I'm not talking about any village, but about one of the most beautiful ancient villages in Italy located in the heart of Salento: the fortified town of Acaya. It is a small fraction of Vernole, with just over 400 inhabitants, an area rich in history and a few kilometers from the sea.
Its particular historical importance is due precisely to being the only example of a fortified city in Southern Italy, with a seventeenth-century appearance and a typically Renaissance imprint in style, which has survived the centuries and wars almost unscathed.
