The Marina di San Gregorio is 126 km from the Airport of Salento (Brindisi) and 86 km from Lecce.
The Marina di San Gregorio is located a few kilometers from Ugento, an ancient village whose origins are very old. Puglia, before becoming a land of Greek and Roman conquest was a territory in which they had developed interesting civilizations, among them the one Messapica, which stood in the western area of Salento. It was a very flourishing civilization whose people very presumably stemmed from important migratory flows from Illyria, the Balkan area corresponding to the former Yugoslavia or from Anatolia, the highlands of Turkey. People of fearsome warriors erected fortified villages surrounded by several rows of walls mainly on hilltops. Salento area extending from Cape Leuca to Taranto major urban centers Messapi civilization were Ugento, Lecce and Gallipoli. The ancient Messapian settlement of Vereto matches today in Patù. Not only warriors but also traders messapi built the important ports, like the one that served the city of Ugento, Torre San Giovanni. Torre San Gregorio owes its origin rather as a port site which referred to Vereto. Today the ancient vestiges remain that some witnesses, including a staircase made of hewn rocks of tufa stone that dates back from the harbor to the hill. In the shallow waters of the harbor you can see many remains of pottery, amphorae, vases and other evidence of port site, only ninth in the period messapico but also later with the Romans.
Around the harbor a small group of houses. Of particular beauty is the natural bay surrounded by high cliffs. To visit the eponymous tower of San Gregorio, one of the many towers dotted the coast of Salento, part of the defensive system from the Middle Ages onwards had been built to counter the raids of Saracens and Turks, a real scourge for the population of the coast Puglia.
Inland is Patù, the smallest town in the province of Lecce, born about a thousand a year following the flight of the inhabitants from Vareto, destroyed by the Saracens. Charming village where you can admire a building whose origins and functions are still largely unknown, the Centopietre, Roman or even earlier origin consists of one hundred overlapping tufa stones without the use of any binding agent such as mortar or lime, to form a building in rectangular plan.
