The certain evidence of the construction of the Norman Swabian castle of Mesagne dates back to the beginning of the 11th century, when, with the Norman reconquest of Puglia, Roberto d'Altavilla known as Guiscardo erected a castrum to defend the city (1062-1063). The term castrum was synonymous not only with "fortified place", but also with "jurisdictional, military, economic, religious center...".

Located about five kilometers from the inhabited center, in the open countryside, it was originally a small church founded by the Basilian monks in an area without any cultivation which explains the nickname "to the scrub". For over half a century it has represented the ideal religious center of the whole Salento. Over the centuries, the church has been enlarged and today, at the top of the facade, it has a large statue of Christ the Redeemer. Outside, in addition to a rich portico, an outdoor church was created for the celebrations of the summer and spring period. Dedicated to the Medici Saints Cosimo, Damiano, Antimo, Euprepio and Leonzio, the sanctuary was recently restored as part of the works for the Great Jubilee of the 2000s. Outside it also has facilities for welcoming pilgrims who come from all over the South and also from abroad. Not far from the Sanctuary, the Episcopal Curia had a modern structure built which houses the Episcopal Seminary.

Focara lights up because a painting of Sant'Antonio abate was found in the cave under the church, the church was built at the end of the 1800s by a family out of devotion to Sant'Antonio da Padova in memory of their son who died prematurely. the area is full of rock caves of Basilian and then Franciscan friars. In San Pancrazio, focarottes have always been lit in honor of Sant'Antonio Abate.
