Area Marina Protetta Porto Cesareo

The inland of Nardò and Porto Cesareo, but in general all the territory of Apulia, is characterized by the presence of a wonderful architectural heritage consisting of several "masserie", typical buildings of the big land property.
3 km from the south-eastern coast of Porto Cesareo you will see one of the most spectacular works of art of the rural fortified architecture of Salento: Masseria "Giudice Giorgio", characterized by a complex defensive system and a rich decorative array. Also the complex of Masseria "Donna Menga" is articulated and interesting: you can reach it by taking a road crossing several estates and meeting then the Veglie-Porto Cesareo road.
