Sun and sea, Nature and welness, Sport & beauty
The town was known in 1000 BC with the name of Ozan. It was a Messapian village and it was an important trade centre and a powerful stronghold. It suffered years of decay when the relationship with Taranto got worse. It was then destroyed by Romans because the town offered a refuge to Hannibal.
Ugento stands on a hill overlooking the Ionian sea. The town is renowned especially for its seaside resorts: Torre San Giovanni, Torre Mozza, Lido Marini in fact boasts a beautiful clear sea and typical sand dunes that in summertime turn into a cheerful place for holidays. In Torre san Giovanni there is the most ancient watchtower of Salento that nowadays is used as a lighthouse. In town there some interesting buildings such as the Norman Castle, lovely small churches, menhirs and dolmens, a rupestrian church (Cripta del Crocifisso) and the ruins of Messapian city walls: that is what made Ugento a City Art in 2008. The town is interesting for nature lovers as well because here there is the Regional Park “Litorale di Ugento” rich of different and various natural environments.
