Beautiful place 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.

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".

Galatina is located in central Salento, about 20 km from Lecce. It is a city of art and culture, with a Baroque-style historic center and the famous basilica of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria. It is also known for the phenomenon of tarantism and every year on the anniversary of Saints Peter and Paul, on June 29, the ancient therapeutic ritual is recalled with the tarantatas who dance the tarantella to the sound of violin and tambourine.

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
