Saturo

The archaeological park extends along the Ionian coast, featuring ancient structures and architectural elements from multiple historical periods spanning twelve kilometers southeast of Taranto.

The settlement of Satyrion was continuously inhabited from the Neolithic period through the Early Middle Ages, with excavations revealing numerous phases of development and abandonment.

Archaeological excavations between 2007 and 2013 uncovered artifacts and evidence documenting daily life, social practices, and construction methods of ancient civilizations in this Mediterranean location.

The archaeological site underwent significant restoration work in the late 20th century, making the area between Porto Perone and Porto Saturo accessible for research and visits.

Recent studies and academic research have identified Mycenaean civilization influences in this southern Italian archaeological complex, adding to its Mediterranean historical importance.
