A must-see. A magical place.

A beautiful castle with a suggestive façade adorned with numerous statues. Inside the very interesting exhibition of Giuseppe Palumbo, the photographer on a bicycle who documented Salento between 1907 and 1959 and in the various rooms an exhibition path with original images, articles and studies dedicated to the phenomenon of tarantism. A short distance away in the enchanting historic center of Corigliano d'Otranto is the church of San Nicola Vescovo with a valuable mosaic depicting the tree of life.

Beautiful castle in Puglia

Built on the foundations of an ancient Byzantine defensive tower and remodeled several times starting from the 16th century until the 18th century, the period in which it took on its current form desired by the feudal lord Oronzo Leuzzi. Declared a building of cultural interest since 1987, it deserves to be visited without any doubt.

The Menhir of Montevergine is yet another example of how pagan elements have managed to mix over the centuries within Christianized places. The monolith, which in the past reached 2 meters or more in height, is in fact located close to the sanctuary of the Madonna di Montevergine, in the exact point where an underground river would flow. The apparition of the Blessed Virgin, which occurred in 1595, created an aura of sacredness and mystery around this place, which is still capable of enchanting many visitors today.

Inserted in the collection https://www.komoot.com/it-it/collection/2431081/-pietre-del-salento - An integral part of the Sanctuary, it is well enhanced by the context and visible without problems. Let's not forget that menhirs are archaic elements that must be observed without touching them. They are the history and heritage of Salento.

"A golden hen and seven chicks also all made of gold are the prize for those who manage, without hesitation, to follow up on the old woman's riddles. That old woman who lives there and appears in the presence of those who dare, close of the longest days of the year, wandering around its boulders" Archaic place of great charm. Legends make these megaliths come alive. Unfortunately the olive grove that surrounded it has been lost due to the well-known xylella but it is hoped that it will be redeveloped in some way because it deserves to be valorised.
