Necropolis of Manduria, Ancient archaeological site in Manduria, Italy.
The archaeological park extends across 150,000 square meters, featuring triple defensive walls and the largest Messapian necropolis discovered to date.
The Messapian necropolis, discovered in 1932, contains 2,500 tombs dating from the 6th to 2nd century BCE, showing different burial structures over time.
The Plinian Fountain, described by Pliny the Elder, lies within a natural cave and served as a sacred place for Messapian religious ceremonies.

The site includes the Church of San Pietro Mandurino with its underground crypt from the 8th century, decorated with frescoes of hermit saints.
