...where History is all around you.
Winners of "Premio Riccardo Francovich 2018" award for the best Italian museum of medieval archaeology.
Your guided tour begins in the Messapian section, which has been recently opened, to discover the walled city between the splendour of the aristocrat families and the thousand-years-old funeral rites. From the rough stone of the castle to the smooth marble of the Palace, from the drawings in the prison to the graffiti in the semi-underground olive oil mill, you will discover the everyday life in Borgo Terra by walking along its lanes and watching plastic and 3D models.
There are Braille guidebooks, audioguides for visually impaired people and the blind and you are also given the chance to test your tactile perception: a way to come into contact with objects from the past.
Moreover, you can buy postcards, souvenirs and books about the history of Salento.
