Maruggio

⭐ 8

Town of the Knights of Malta, between Primitivo vineyards and the Ionian coast

The town was founded between 870 and 963, in a natural hollow, to protect itself from Saracen raids. In 1473, the municipality enacted the Capitoli della Bagliva, 28 articles of local law, among the earliest municipal statutes in the Terra d’Otranto. The only Saracen attack dates back to June 13, 1637; since then, Saint Anthony of Padua, celebrated on that day, has been thanked. On July 13 and 14, the patron saints John the Baptist and Christopher are celebrated. Around the town, the vineyards produce Primitivo di Manduria.

À PROPOS DE Maruggio

Maruggio is a town in the province of Taranto, about forty kilometers from the city, at the foot of the Tarantine Murge. The Knights of Malta governed it for centuries and built a castle there in 1368, on Piazza del Popolo. The town is part of the Borghi più belli d’Italia. Its seaside hamlet, Campomarino, runs along the Ionian Sea for about 9 km, with dunes classified as a site of community interest: you can add the beach to a visit of the center.

The town was founded between 870 and 963, in a natural hollow, to protect itself from Saracen raids. In 1473, the municipality enacted the Capitoli della Bagliva, 28 articles of local law, among the earliest municipal statutes in the Terra d’Otranto. The only Saracen attack dates back to June 13, 1637; since then, Saint Anthony of Padua, celebrated on that day, has been thanked. On July 13 and 14, the patron saints John the Baptist and Christopher are celebrated. Around the town, the vineyards produce Primitivo di Manduria.
