Muro Leccese e Palazzo Artes, CIS: LE07505191000015117<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\nMuro Leccese is an ancient Messapian center of Salento rich in history and culture, with medieval and Renaissance buildings of great value. It is located just 10 minutes by car from Otranto, equidistant from Lecce and Santa Maria di Leuca.<\/p>\n
Muro Leccese takes its name from its ancient Messapian walls (today two meters high but once more than 7). However, the name may also derive from “Moro” (ie Saracen, Mauritanian). The fact that there are both elements in its coat of arms leaves open the mystery as to the real origin of the name.<\/h4>\n
Many stones of the ancient walls have been, over the centuries, reused for other building works, such as the church of Santa Marina, dating back to the tenth century.
\nIn its medieval center there is a street, called Via Salentina, along which the ancient artery of the town extends, built following an underground stream. All the courtyards of this small artery are equipped with a well to draw from the underground aquifer.<\/p>\n
In the grid of the historic center, a few meters from the main square is Palazzo Artes<\/strong><\/a> (CIS: LE07505191000015117)
\nPeriod building, dating back to 1500, embellished with works of art belonging to the owners’ private collection, has maintained the original structure that develops around a small internal cloister characterized by a portico with three arches in which a very high palm stands .
\nHere you can spend your stay of sun, culture, art and relaxation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Andrano, stradina del centro storico<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nVery interesting center, starting from its Castle, the Spinola-Caracciolo Castle, which has a sui generis architectural history:
\nWhen it was built, in the thirteenth century, it was an agglomeration of animal shelters, with an enclosure, a small church and a watchtower;<\/p>\n
it was then transformed into a farm and only in 1300 fortification works begin to be carried out and at the turn of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, towers and moat were also built.<\/p>\n
In the sea area closest to Andrano, between the areas called “Torre” and “Botte” (where there is a small and picturesque harbor) there is a path full of agave plants, called the Lungomare delle Agavi.<\/p>\n
In the area called “La Botte”, through a narrow lateral opening in the rock, you can access, strictly by swimming, the spectacular Green Grotto, characterized by stalactites and rocks located almost at water level, on which tourists can relax and enjoy the spectacle created. from Mother Nature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\nThe historic center is cut by small private “secret” streets, shared by some houses, and among these we find the beautiful, almost magical,<\/h3>\nCasa del Fico.

Masseria Tiggiano, Salento<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis is an area starred with amazing Masseria farms; <\/a>Tiggiano is a small village that approaches, without touching it, the Adriatic sea towards the Capo di Leuca<\/a>.
