Ugento
It is an ancient messapic centre in the
far south of Salento. In Ugento we can find fun, art, history
and culture. Some centuries ago this town was surrounded from
strong and mighty boundaries with some doors which were the
only possible accesses to the city: today there are only the
rests of these ancient boundaries which defended the city from
external invasions. In the town museum we can admire some
historical Roman and Messapic findings.
Ugento is the ideal place where you can
contemplate the enchanting show of the sunset on the Ionian
Sea. Here colours and tastes of nature mix together:
vineyards, secular olive-trees, long golden beaches, a
crystalline sea, a clear and a bright sky. You can visit and
admire the Castle, the Boundaries , the archaeological Museum
and the old the Cathedral.
