The small town of Acaya is located in the heart of the Salento region of Puglia, around 10 kilometres from the beaches of the Adriatic Coast.
Although it has a population of under 500 people, Acaya is worth a visit with its impressive castle (Castello Acaya) which dates back to the 16th century. |

The castle is the first thing you see as you enter the town, flanked by a defensive wall and an ornamental archway which leads on to the main square in the town. The unmistakably Puglian style buildings that make up the central area consist of various churches as well as a small number of places to eat and drink.
