Messapian walls of the Aragonese Castle which is located in the heart of the city. The name of the village itself means 'fortified city', a protected area both on the coast and inland. Stretching out towards the sea, but part of the imposing internal structure, is the Torre Capanne, located south-east of the city walls, in the town from which it takes its name.
