Copertino — Castello Belvedere
Puglia
Copertino's star-shaped Aragonese castle, ringed by a dry moat, is one of the largest fortresses in Salento, its ramparts one of the few elevated spots in this otherwise flat stretch of countryside. The walk around the moat gives changing views of the walls and the surrounding vineyards.
