Storia comune di Muro Leccese provincia di Lecce
Probably the name refers to the Messapian megalithic city walls (“muro” means “wall” in Italian). Menhirs and other archaeological finds shows that the territory was inhabited since the prehistory. But the first inhabitants officially recognised from history are the Messapian who built up a village in 4th century BC that later was destroyed in 3th century BC from Romans. In 1156 Guglielmo Bosco from Norman dynasty declared himself as first prince of Muro Leccese. During Anjous period it was a fief for some families until the unification of Italy.
