Manduria, Medieval settlement in Province of Taranto, Italy.

Manduria stands at 79 meters above sea level, surrounded by rectangular stone walls and agricultural lands in southeastern Puglia.

The Messapii established this settlement as a fortress against Taras, where Spartan king Archidamus III fell during a battle in 338 BC.

The Chiesa Madre displays architectural elements from multiple periods, while the medieval Jewish quarter preserves traces of past communities.

The town connects to Taranto through regular bus services and lies 35 kilometers east of the provincial capital.

The Fonte Pliniano well, mentioned by Pliny the Elder, maintains constant water levels and houses an ancient almond tree at its center.
