Storia comune di Maruggio provincia di Taranto

The place name could come from the vernacular word “maruggiu”, the name of a medicinal herb growing all around the valley. Maruggio was founded during the 10th century from a byzantine emperor when all the surrounding villages were destroyed by Saracens. It was a fief for Cateniano and Marrese families; then De Pandis-Caballaro family gave the fief to the Knights of Malta that ruled the town from 1315 to 1819 making it a vivid town.

Maruggio is plunged into a valley surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. The town owns a seashore, Campomarino, that is one of the most popular place during summertime: its 9 km coast offers a clear sea and golden sand dunes.
