Lonely Planet review for Castello di Carlo V
Lecce’s 16th-century Castello di Carlo V was built around a 12th-century Norman tower to the orders of Charles V. It consists of two concentric trapezoidal structures. It’s been used as a prison, a court, and military headquarters; now you can wander around the baronial spaces and visit the occasional art exhibition.
