Melissano is a small agricultural town in Lower Salento, known for its wine and table grapes. Its mother church of the Rosario, built in a Neo-Renaissance style, was inaugurated in 1902. In the countryside, ancient masserie, such as Cucuruzze with its underground oil mill from 1618, and Laghetto Cellini, a spring-fed pond of about 3,000 m², tell the story of the area’s agricultural life. A short stop for a quiet afternoon.
