In the heart of the historical center the bell tower Church of San Lorenzo stands tall and splendid, like a guiding star that points the way out of the white alleys. The church is the first example of Dalmatian architecture mixed with Apulian Romanesque: It's sun-drenched facade overlooks the ravine. Built in 1408, San Lorenzo has many architectual features in common with other churches in Apulian, like those in Mottola, Manduria and Ostuni. One of the Main feature ist the majestic rose window, decorated with small columns and arches. Inside, the space ist divided into three aisles where precious frescoes and paintings are preserved.

Restored by Marquis Pietro Antonio d'Azzia as the enblem still visible on it's facade shows, it's architecture still preserves its Roman origins, too.

One of Ginosa’s most striking landmarks, perhaps the most prominent historical site, is the Norman Castle. Built towards the end of the land spur in what is the northern end of the historical centre, the castle has commanding views over both Rioni di Casale and Rioni di Rivolta, and on to the surrounding plains beyond the ravine. The castle is the handiwork of Robert Guiscard, born in Normandy who was a significant figure in the Norman conquest of southern Italy during the 11th and 12th centuries. Guiscard became the Count of Apulia and Calabria between 1057 and 1059, and then Duke of Apulia and Calabria as well as Duke of Sicily between 1059 and 1085. He had the Ginosa castle built in 1080. A fortress, clearly occupying the most strategic spot being almost entirely surrounded by the ravine, built to protect the town against Saracen raids. At this time Puglia and much of southern Italy was being fought over between the Normans and the Byzantines. Today the castle looks more like a large palazzo than a Norman castle. This is because the distinctive Norman features, crenellated towers and a drawbridge, were removed or altered in the 16th century when the castle became the baronial seat of the Doria family. For example, the drawbridge was replaced by an arched bridge that links the castle’s entrance to Corso Vittorio Emanuele.
