The built-up area of Muro Leccese has very ancient origins dating back to the Bronze Age. The period of greatest expansion, however, is that of the Messapian era, as evidenced by various archaeological finds. A section of the walls linked to this era is still visible today. The entire village was then destroyed by the Romans in the third century BC and only in the Middle Ages did it again take on an important role in the region.

Muro Leccese was one of the most important Messapian centers, of which significant archaeological finds remain.
