A masterpiece of Romanesque-Gothic architecture, the Church of Santa Maria del Casale in Brindisi in 1310 housed the chancery (unit in charge of record keeping) of the trial that ended with the suppression of the Knights Templar in the Kingdom of Sicily.

Like all the castle structures, also the one of Pesche, now reduced to the state of ruins, presents shreds of architectural elements that reveal a series of changes and adaptations occurred over time and that are not easily identifiable in their temporal location. In the highest part of the inhabited area, taking advantage of the natural conformation of the rock that presents a steep descent on the western side and a less steep degradation on the opposite side, remain the signs of an apical structure that, taking up the form of an irregular pentagon, should correspond to a donjon.
