The Castle of Collepasso was built in the 18^th century by Oronzo Leuzzi on a pre-existing structure of the 16^th century. It was restored in 1992 therefore is in good conditions. The Viva Palace is in the historic centre and dates to the 19^th century. The Mother church is dedicated to Our Lady of the Graces. It was built according to the will of Consiglia Pesce when the old Parish church collapsed in 1858. In this place there used to be the Masseria Santa Lucia, an old farm of the Leuzzis. The Mother church dates to the 1625. Its façade has a beautiful portal. The church has a Greek cross plan and inside the tourist can visit the stone altars carved by Don Michele Rizzo. The Chapel of the Virgin of Lourdes is next to Pesce Palace, is very simple and dates to the end of 18^th century. When the Mother Church opened this chapel was used as a carpentry and was consecrated only in 1945. The Church of St Francesco was built in 1980 according to the will of the priest Don Salvatore Miggiano. It is a modern style church. The Chapel of the St Trinity was built in the 19^th century on the rests of a sixteenth century structure. It is an aisleless church and its façade is very simple. Its bell dates to 1857 and it is thought to be miraculous because it sends the storms away. The column with the statue of St Joseph in Piazza Martiri Ungheresi was built in 1858 by Don Michele Rizzo with the rests of the old Parish Church. The Watch Tower in Piazza Dante dates to 1914. Outside the urban area the tourist can still see the rests of some fortified farms called Masseria Sumà and Masseria Li Belli. The population of Collepasso is devoted to Our Lady of the Graces and celebrates her solemnly on September 7^th and 8^th.

The nickname of the people of Collepasso is “saracini”, that means Saracens. We know the Saracens invaded and sacked all the villages in the Salento so the people of the neighbouring villages think the people of Collepasso are as wicked and stingy as the Saracens used to be.
