In the historic centre the tourist can visit the typical ‘case a corte’ and beautiful palaces such as the Town Hall Palace. It is in St Lorenzo Square, is in Neoclassic style and was built in the 19^th century. The stately castle or Baronial Palace was built in the 18^th century on the rests of a pre-existing structure of the 15^th century. Its square tower looks very interesting and dates to the 16^th century. The Mother Church is dedicated to St Lorenzo and was built in the 16^th century after a prodigious event because the saint saved the population from a terrible epidemic of cholera. This church is also a fortified building and it used to be a shelter for the population against the invaders’ attacks. Its façade has a beautiful portal while inside there are some gracious altars and some paintings attributed to Oronzo Tiso. The old church of St Lorenzo dated to the 11^th century but there are only rests left. The Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation was built in the 16^th century according to the will of Francesco Paladini. The façade and the inside are both very simple. The Church of Our Lady of the Sorrow was finished in 1970 and has a modern style. The steeple of St Lorenzo was built in the 19^th century and has elegant decorations. The patron saint of Lizzanello is St Lorenzo and the population celebrates him on January 19^th.

The nickname of the people of Lizzanello is“fimmene bestie” , ‘women – beasts’. This nickname certainly appears unpleasant but it means that the women of the village are strong and hard workers.
