Visit Manduria
What to see and what to do
Manduria is a town of ancient buildings and timeless alleys, historical and artistic monuments, hidden corners with an atmosphere suspended in time and a stretch of coast among the most beautiful in Italy. And the good Apulian cuisine, all to be enjoyed accompanied by a good Primitivo di Manduria DOP, in the numerous typical restaurants present throughout the town center.
Manduria
City of Messapi
The Sine Tempore Bed and Breakfast is located in the heart of the historic center of Manduria near the Cathedral Church dedicated to the Holy Trinity, a splendid and majestic religious monument, whose Norman structure dates back to the 11th century. Its bell tower overlooks Manduria and it can also be seen outside the town. Almost in front of the B&B Sine Tempore there is one of the entrances to the Jewish Ghetto, established in the 13th century. In a few minutes you can walk to Piazza Garibaldi, where, triumphantly, Palazzo Imperiali-Filotico stands out, one of the largest feudal palaces in Salento, built by the Imperial Princes of Francavilla in the 18th century.
Manduria, rich and eclectic, makes a fine show of itself with small and large architectural and artistic jewels, one of which is the well-known Calvary, an example of particularly original religious devotion, dating back to the 1800s and completely covered with shards of local majolica. And then again churches dating back to every era, such as the one dedicated to Santa Lucia, with a circular plan.
Absolutely not to be missed are the Archaeological Park of the Messapian Walls, the largest Messapian necropolis ever discovered, which has over 2500 tombs and the Fonte Pliniano described by Plinio il Vecchio in his "Historia Naturalis".
