In Roma Square there used to be the imposing Baronial Palace that has been demolished to build new residences. At Zollino there are a lot of religious monuments such as the beautiful Mother Church, dedicated to St. Peter and St Paul. It was probably built in the Middle Ages but we do not know the exact time. The façade has a simple front door surmounted by a sculpture representing a coat of arms, and it is decorated with statues of saints. The bell tower is really interesting from the artistic point of view  and it is dated 1893. Inside there are six altars, an organ probably built  in the XVIII century, and very beautiful canvasses representing St Peter, St Paul, S. John , St Lucy,  St. Francis and the Holy Virgin with the Child. Near the Mother Church there is the Chapel of St.  John Baptist dating back to 1538. It was built in the XVIII century, it is aisle less and there is only one altar decorated with a beautiful painting representing the Baptism of Christ. The Chapel of St. Vito is  small, it was erected in 1522 and after the jobs of restoration it has only an altar on which  there is the statue of the saint. The  Church of St Anne is very beautiful and it was built in the XVIII century after a miraculous event. Some old people tell that  a century after the demolition of the old church devoted to St Anne (XVII century) an old lady found the image of St Anne on the wall of an ancient  chapel.  After that discovery some prodigious events happened at Zollino and a church was built. The façade is imposing and it has an elegant front door,  an enormous window and  four big niches containing the statues of some saints. Inside you can admire a valuable high altar   decorated in baroque style and some interesting paintings representing St. Gioacchino, the Madonna and St Anne. The Church of St. Joseph was built  in the XIX century and it was commissioned by a couple of faithful believers. It is a Neoclassic monument with beautiful paintings and statues of saints. Outside  the urban centre you can see the Church of the Madonna of Loreto. Inside it is possible to see and admire an ancient Byzantine fresco of the Holy Virgin Mary with  Jesus. Zollino is famous for its "pozzelle" that date back to the XVIII century: the "pozzelle" are rudimentary wells dug in the rock to receive the rain-water. The protector of Zollino is St Anthony from Padua  that is celebrated solemnly on June 13th.

Zollino is one of the villages  of the Grecìa Salentina and the nickname  of its inhabitants  "cufiari" comes from the griko and it means people not very open-minded and introvert. The griko is the dialectal version of the Greek language and it is still spoken in some town of the Salento.
