Martano, one of the symbolic places of Salento Greece, also widely known internationally, in winter turns out to be a quiet Salento village immersed in its silence and slow rhythms without the lively coming and going of people that swarm the historic core of the summer periods. Early in the morning this state of calm is even more emphasized and is probably the ideal time to cycle through its alleys and enjoy this state of affairs.

Among the most fascinating aspects of Puglia there are undoubtedly the large palaces, castles and farms, symbols of a past of nobles and slaves. Among these, the Baronial Palace of Collepasso stands out, of still uncertain origins but whose artistic and historical value is very evident. Built with typical Lecce stone, the clean square shapes date back to the Norman-Swabian domination, while the square in front is very reminiscent of the Spanish "plaza de armas".

"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".

The baronial palace is the result of various interventions and expansion works, which ended in the eighteenth century with the feudal lord Oronzo Leuzzi. It incorporates an ancient building built in 1576 by Pietro Massa, on top of another already existing one, that is a defense tower from the Byzantine era. This palace became the center of Collepassese political and cultural activity under the hegemony of Baroness Aurora Leuzzi. Restoration works took place in 1992 and 2006. It has been a building of cultural interest since 1987, the year of the transfer of ownership to the Municipality

The built-up area of Muro Leccese has very ancient origins dating back to the Bronze Age. The period of greatest expansion, however, is that of the Messapian era, as evidenced by various archaeological finds. A section of the walls linked to this era is still visible today. The entire village was then destroyed by the Romans in the third century BC and only in the Middle Ages did it again take on an important role in the region.

Accordying to the history, was the Roman centurion Martius who founded the place, thanks to a donation of a Salento land as a tribute for the value shown in battle. In the following century, was under the dominion of Greeks and Byzantines that influenced so much the territory and culture, till find even today traces of the 'Grika' language, still speak sometimes by the older people. Infact Martano is one of the nine villages that constitute the hellenophonic area named as 'Grecìa Salentina'. In the historic center you can admire the courtyard houses, typical building of the patriarchal families, around which the houses of the other family's members developed. Still in the center, you can walk with your gaze upwards to grasp valuable architectural elements such as coats of arms, portals and columns that adorn various buildings. Among the monuments worth to be mentioned, there are the baronial palace (once Aragonese castle), the mother church dedicated to Maria Ss. Assunta, the church of S. Maria del Rosario close to the city hall palace (once cloister of the Domenicani monks) and the chapels of the Madonna del Carmine and Immacolata Concezione, dating back to the end of the XVII century.

The origins of the structure date back to the end of the XIII century. In 1480, following the Turkish offensive on Otranto, the Castle of Martano, in which the inhabitants had taken refuge, also suffered considerable damage. Fortunately, the following year, thanks to the reconquest by the Aragonese, the fortress was rebuilt and enlarged. The new construction was joined to the ancient city walls and correlated with five towers, of which only two have survived until today. In the second half of the 1600s, the Trani family transformed the Aragonese Castle into a Baronial Palace by renovating the old façade and creating an entrance door embellished with inclined ashlars. Inside the building, it's possible to admire the remarkable decorations of the staircase, as well as the fascinating majolica flooring and the frescoed vaults. Further stylistic changes and enrichments have continued over the last two centuries in conjunction with the succession of various noble families.

Muro Leccese was one of the most important Messapian centers, of which significant archaeological finds remain.
