Former Convent of the Augustinians and Church of the Carmine

Highlight • Religious Site

In neglect for decades, the convent has undergone some restoration works, and is currently used to host cultural activities. The cloister of 1644 preserves the remains of a highly decorated colonnade, bearing many Latin engravings, and a well on which the double-headed eagle is sculpted, a sign of the presence of the noble Castriota Scanderbeg family.

Fortified Masseria of Torcito

Highlight • Historical Site

Fortified by the Spaniards at the beginning of the 16th century due to the danger of Turkish attacks, the Masseria di Torcito rests on a slight plateau and is not far from the sea. Today it is in the municipal area of Cannole (LE) and despite having been partially destroyed and vandalized, it retains great charm.
