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

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.
