Corsano is a town and comune in the province of Lecce in the Apulia region of south-east Italy.

Geography

[edit]

It is located on the last slopes of the Salentine Murge, facing the Adriatic Sea coast. The distance from Lecce is 60 kilometres (37 mi).

History

[edit]

Corsano was most likely founded in the 10th century, during the Byzantine domination of southern Italy, by Basilian monks.[4] Later it was part of the Principality of Taranto, a semi-independent entity of the Kingdom of Naples, and later was held by numerous feudal families.

The most striking sight is the baronial Castle (17th century) and Julien's face.
