Castle of Monti, Art museum in medieval castle at Corigliano d'Otranto, Italy.
The Castle of Monti stands with four angular towers, deep moats, and detailed stone carvings along its quadrangular structure in Corigliano d'Otranto's center.
Between 1514 and 1519, Giovan Battista de' Monti transformed the castle into a military stronghold, adding defensive features and circular towers with heraldic decorations.
Each tower displays sculptures representing cardinal virtues and saints, with Michael the Archangel, Saint Anthony, Saint George, and Saint John the Baptist as protectors.
Visitors access the castle through Via Ferrovia 1, where guided tours explain the architectural elements and historical significance of each room and courtyard.
Francesco Trane's 1667 modifications added a stone balustrade with mythical creatures and floral motifs, transforming the military structure into an artistic residence.
