In the center of the city of Lecce, on the border between the old town and the modern city, you will find the majestic Castle of Charles V a short walk from Piazza Sant 'Oronzo. Imposing in shape and all 'impact, the castle was remodeled and resized to' needs of various historical periods as evidenced by the two bodies concentric, of different ages, which characterize the main building. The structure, today, retains the trapezoidal shape with 4 majestic bastions spearhead. The main building dates from the twelfth century and the bastion square, said Square Tower, is probably Angevin era.

 

All’ interno del Castello Carlo V vengono organizzate numerose mostre ed eventi che danno la possibilità di ammirare sia l’ imponenza degli ambianti esterni sia la ricchezza degli spazi interni.
