Inserted in a rural context rich in historical testimonies, 100 meters above sea level, in a dominant position on the fertile “Ruga valley”, the abbey complex probably originated in the fourteenth century. Mentioned in several documents, in 1378 and 1412, which sanction its geographical belonging to the territory of Neviano and to the jurisdiction of the Neretine curia, the small village of Macugno performed a mandatory stop function for pilgrims heading to Santa Maria di Leuca, for the traders and shepherds who periodically split the hinterland along the junction of the two ports of Gallipoli and Otranto.

The quantity of lush greenery of the Mediterranean scrub keeps the naturalistic value of this crossed area high, so much so that you are amazed when you descend from the greenhouse on the east side, especially for the people of Tuglia who are used to peering towards the Ionian Sea. San Nicola di Macugno is its emblem, the History and the stories told that involve this place and Nature with the harmoniously integrated cultivated fields give beauty and joyfulness.
