Ancient Village or Settlement in Puglia

Egnazia is located at the boundary between the Messapian region, corresponding to the south of Apulia, and Peucetia, corresponding to the central part of the region, thus representing a cultural border area. Starting from the 6th century B.C. the settlement spreads beyond the limits of the acropolis, site of the oldest settlement, and divides up into groups of huts—with funerary spaces attached—spreading over the area that will be occupied by the future town.
Egnazia becomes a town in the late 4th century B.C., when the settlement, spread out over a surface of about 140 hectares, is enclosed by an approximately two-kilometre-wide fortification. The surrounding wall, erected also for defensive purposes during the difficult period of the battles between Taranto and the Lucanians, is reinforced in the 3rd century B.C. with the construction of a second curtain wall and with a new and wider moat. The north end of the new structure, traditionally known as “muraglione” (massive wall) and today stretching out into the sea, is slightly shorter than its original height of eight metres. More portions of the wall are preserved also along the road “delle Carceri”, from where the Archaeological Park can be accessed, in addition to the structures that have been discovered near Masseria Cimino, now included in the visit.
