The archaeological park of Egnazia preserves the vestiges of ancient messapian and roman civilizations.
The first settlements date back to the Bronze Age, when a fortified village was identified on the acropolis, however Egnazia started to be organized as a small town around the 4th century B.C. and became a quite important roman municipium since the 1st century B.C., when the strategic position along the Traiana Road was essential for trades between Rome and the East.
