Archaeological excursions
Archaeological excursions are aimed exclusively at Schools since they are meant to be a sequel of the From Salento to Mediterranean activity.
Otranto
In this path, developing from the last phases of prehistory to Middle Ages, didactic operators help the students to become protagonists of history, seeking through those places where the bronze age village the messapic town, the aragonese castle and the old town alleys rose and developed. For the students this represents a very motivating and fulfilling learning experience, as well as a more rigorous and objective approach to the historical knowledge of their own territory.
Fruition conditions: Mandatory booking - max 50 students. Duration: max 2 hours and 30 mins.
Target: From Primary to Senior High School; tourist groups and cultural Associations.
The Messapi
This path is meant to be a first approach to the pre-classical stages of the Salento territory, in an educational continuity of the “historical” passage from Prehistory to Iron Age. It examines the nearest messapic sites: Muro Leccese and Vaste, whose historically ascertained first inhabitants were the Messapi who turned the first housing development (huts) into an urban centre with houses regularly aligned along the streets.
