Additional Information

Join a certified guide on a tour of Mesagne, starting at the town’s symbolic monument - the castle, standing tall at approximately 20 meters. The original structure was a fortified camp from the 11th or 12th century, which expanded over subsequent centuries. It ultimately ceased to serve as a strong fortress and became a noble’s dwelling.

The journey continues with revealing significant artefacts from the Messapian civilization housed in the ‘U. Granafei’ Territory Museum.

Next, we’ll explore the town’s old quarter and visit the main church devoted to All Saints, erected between 1649 and 1660. The façade boasts exquisite architectural features with arched stone and grand colonnade supporting the solid roofing. The interiors are adorned with exquisite stucco work and a magnificent marble high altar, featuring artwork by local painters.
