A fantastic place to spend the day with the little ones in an equipped park like few others in Salento, with a breathtaking view of the castle.

Nice castle from the outside only it was not possible to visit it because it was closed.

Beautiful, well-kept park, but closed castle not open to visitors

Nothing to complain about the beautiful town, so much to say about a little bar that with its ambiguous characters obscures the beautiful part of this place

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
