TUGLIE

The origin of Tuglie dates back to the Greek colonization. Pillaged and destroyed by Turks after the occupation of Otranto in 1480 and, in 1537, following the sack of Castro, it knew a period of abandonment until, about the middle of XVI century, became fief of the baron Filippo Guarini, the town had a demographic growth, tanks to a land reformation of the territory also. Subsequently Tuglie was pledged to Venturis, who hold possession with the title of dukes until 1806, date of abolition of the feudalism.

Among its monuments are worthies of mention: the parish church, built in the XVII century on the initiative of the bishop of Nardò, Monsignor Sanfelice, flanked by a bell-tower being never finished; the sanctuary of the Madonna del Grappa, built in memory of the fallen in the first world war (1915-18)
