Castrignano del Capo, a small city of the province of Lecce, is situated in the southernmost part of Apulia, on the top of an impressive tufa rock which falls sheer to the sea.

Hotels in Castrignano del Capo, which are situated few kilometres far from the major seaside resorts of the surrounding area, are provided with comfortable bedrooms which are furnished with style and equipped with private services and large balconies. The coastal area, where the Adriatic Sea merges with the Ionian Sea, is peppered with comfortable guest houses featuring Mediterranean-style bedrooms overlooking the sea, large conference rooms and special agreements with the major beaches and funfairs of the surrounding area. The local farm houses, which are made up of independent flats, are the ideal accommodation facilities for those interested in spending pleasant holidays in the countryside a short distance from one of the most beautiful seas in Italy.

One of the city's most fascinating places is its ancient medieval village, the so-called “Borgo Terra”, which is characterized by narrow streets, mysterious nooks and crannies and picturesque white houses. It is dominated by the Church dedicated to St. Michele Arcangelo, which was built between 1743 and 1751. The building boasts a sumptuous Baroque facade whose majestic central portal is embellished by splendid bas reliefs.
Another sight worthy of mention is the sixteenth-century Castle of Giuliano di Lecce. This fortress rises just in the heart of the homonymous hamlet, which is situated only 2 kilometres far from the municipal capital, and it is characterized by four imposing vertical bulwarks, impressive curtains and two high square towers. The interior of the majestic Tower of Salignano, which was erected in 1550, is now the venue for numerous cultural initiatives. This impressive defensive bulwark, which boasts circular plan, is surrounded by a series of brackets, and is also provided with several machicolations and embrasures.
