About Manduria
Manduria is a working town rather than a resort. It was a Messapic stronghold against Taranto, and remains of its ancient defences survive, including a double line of stone walls built without mortar. Landmarks include the Fonte Pliniano, a well with an almond tree growing from its centre, the Imperiali-Filotico palace and a museum of Primitivo wine. Vineyards surround the town. San Pietro in Bevagna and Torre Colimena are among its outlying localities. The homes are spread around the town, nearly all with a garden and air conditioning.

Primitivo wine. The local Primitivo di Manduria DOC is a full-bodied red made from Primitivo grapes, and the town has a museum devoted to Primitivo and the history of winemaking.

Not in the town itself. The coast is at Marina di Manduria and San Pietro in Bevagna, where the shore runs from sandy dunes to rocky coves. Beach days mean a drive from the homes around Manduria.
What can you see in Manduria?
The Messapic walls, a double line of stone laid without mortar, about 1,200 rock-cut tombs and the Fonte Pliniano well with its almond tree. There are also the Imperiali-Filotico palace and a surprising number of churches.
How far is Manduria from Brindisi Airport?
About 47 minutes by car, around 46 km. Buses and trains involve changes and start away from the terminal, so renting a car at the airport makes the journey far simpler.
