The city boasts Messapian origins and a beautiful historic center dominated by the Cathedral and the Castle. Its coastline is a regional nature reserve. The cathedral, dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta, was originally a Gothic-style church, was destroyed by the Turks and rebuilt in 1745. The façade of the cathedral dates back to the mid-1800s and is in neoclassical style. In the historic center, a few meters from the cathedral, inside a former convent of the Franciscans, there is the New Archaeological Museum. Arranged on two floors, it preserves materials coming mainly from Ugento and belonging to the Messapi. It is the famous museum of the Messapian civilization with the statue of Zeus, one of the very few bronze statues that have come down to us. A kilometer outside the town you can visit the crypt of the Crucifix, entirely carved in stone; It is adorned with numerous frescoes ranging from the thirteenth to the fourteenth century. Since 2007 the coast has become the Regional Nature Reserve. The area of the park is delimited by the towns of Torre San Giovanni and Lido Marini. The park is characterized by the presence of different natural environments. The initial strip consists of the sandy coast with important dunes, there are also the marshy environments that once characterized all of Salento, immediately after are the Serre di Ugento, hills made up of limestone rocks furrowed by channels of karst origin. Being present various environments with different characteristics, the plants that grow in thisarea embrace numerous species. Many plants, about 3%, are endemic, that is, they are typical and exclusive of the territory. Among the flowers stand out the wild orchids, small in size with very small and colorful flowers. In the sea there are meadows of posidonia, a very important aquatic plant since it is very similar to land plants and therefore oxygenates the waters. Among the numerous animals are birds: herons, cormorants and pupae are easily observable. Mammals are very shy and move especially at night, among these it is possible to spot the fox, the badger, the fairy and the weasel.
