PROGRAM

By visiting the Archaeological Park, guests will be transported into an atmosphere of mystery, where the history of the ancient Messapian city of Manduria, with his miraculum of the Fonte Pliniano, merges with the legend of the royal hind and the golden almond.

During the tour, visitors will be lead by guides to recreate the life that took place inside those mighty megalithic walls, which have come down to us over the centuries.

An itinerary for history, art and archaeology lovers.

Visitors will smell the scents of the past all around the huge Archaeological Park of the Messapian Walls, and admire the magical atmosphere evoked by the play of light in the hypogean environment of Fonte Pliniano, a place that even impressed Pliny the Elder.
