In 1466 it became the property of the Guarini Dukes, Lords of Poggiardo, who expanded the structure over the course of several centuries, progressively transforming it from a fortress into a fortified residential residence. During the seventeenth century the moat was filled, fenced and transformed into a citrus grove while in the following centuries several buildings were built on part of it, on whose roof a beautiful terrace was created [source: https://www.lavocedimaruggio.it /wp/fortresses-and-castles-of-puglia-the-guarini-of-poggiardo- castle.html]

It deserves attention. Built in the first half of the 16th century on an old medieval pre-existing building, Palazzo dei Principi is a splendid building with an austere façade that stands out in Piazza del Popolo, enriched by a portal with the emblem of the Protonobilissimo dragon and by windows and balconies in Renaissance style [ source: https://www.viaggiareinpuglia.it/at/4/castellotorre/4646/it/Palazzo-del-Principe]

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.
