Masseria Malvindi is located in the rural area of the ancient city of Mesagne on the edge of Via Appia, which in Roman times connected the capital of the Empire, Rome, to the important port of Brindisi. In the Middle Ages the Masseria area was affected by the passage of the Limitone of the Greeks: which marked the border between the Byzantine territory, to the south, and the one occupied by the Lombards, to the north.
The “Limitone” started in Otranto, a center of great strategic importance, moving along the Traiana road, which linked Otranto to Lecce and Brindisi, continuing towards Rome, arriving near the destroyed city of Valesio, near S. Pietro Vernotico. The “Limitone” was detached from the road leading to Levante and still today, near the Malvindi farm, you can notice part of the ancient “tratturo” path, paved with the ancient ‘chianche’.
