Storia comune di Ceglie Messapica provincia di Brindisi

The name comes from “kailia” meaning “high ground” and referring to its position. According to the legend Ceglie Messapica was founded by Pelasgi, a people coming from East Europe, but according to history it is sure that between the 4th and the 5th century BC it fought against Taranto. Under the Roman Empire it was called “Caelium”. From middle age on it lost its importance and it was ruled as a fief from lots of families. It got back its strengths after the unification of Italy.
