Storia comune di Martano provincia di Lecce

The town has definitely Roman origins. Romans used to share the conquered lands among the most skilled soldiers, so the territory corresponding to the current Martano was given to a roman soldier Martius or Marco Pegaseo. Hence the name of Martano. After the fall of the Roma Empire the town was under Byzantines during five centuries and then it was a fief for lots of family until the Unification of Italy. 



Informazioni turistiche comune di Martano provincia di Lecce

Martano is situated in the heart of “Grecìa salentina” that is a group of 11 villages preserving the Greek dialect of Salento spread during the time of Byzantine Empire and nowadays officially recognised as a minority language by Italian government. A mark of Greek-byzantine era is Agorà, an important fair of craftwork and farming that takes place every year in August. The town still guards lots of interesting buildings: the Castle, palaces and churches and the typical courtyard houses. Furthermore there are some archaeological sites as Menhir del Teofilo, Specchia dei Mori and Casale di Apignano, an ancient medieval village.
