Melendugno, Administrative commune in Province of Lecce, Italy

Melendugno is an administrative commune in the Province of Lecce that covers a territory of rolling hills with several residential areas. Local roads connect these neighborhoods across the gently sloping landscape.

The area was formally established as an administrative commune in 1932, creating a new structure for local governance in the Province of Lecce. This reorganization shaped how the territory is managed today.

The area hosts traditional festivals throughout the year that bring residents together to celebrate regional customs and local products. These gatherings reflect how the community maintains its connection to agricultural traditions and shared heritage.

The municipality provides access to services including school transportation, waste management, and public records through its digital portal. Visitors can locate these facilities to handle practical needs during their stay.

The territory contains archaeological sites such as Roca Vecchia, featuring ancient ruins that sit near the Adriatic coast within communal boundaries. These remains offer visitors a glimpse into the area's ancient past.
