Egnazia Archaeological Park
Parco Archeologico di Egnazia
A seaside site of an ancient Messapian and Roman town, with the Via Traiana running through it and a national archaeological museum on site.
Egnazia was a port city founded by the ancient Messapians that flourished in Roman times. The Roman Via Traiana (Trajan's Road) passed through the city. The site lies right beside the sea, where you can see an ancient paved road, a forum, a rectangular assembly hall, underground colonnades and the remains of an early Christian church. The on-site National Archaeological Museum displays pottery and mosaics unearthed locally. Tickets are required, and opening hours are listed on the official website. It sits near the seaside at Fasano, where public transport is limited, so driving is recommended. It can be combined with nearby beaches and Monopoli.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:00–19:00, seasonal changes (check official website)
