Population: 10.640
The origins of Torre and the appellation “Santa Susanna” remain uncertain. According to Girolamo Marciano(1571-1628), Hannibal placed one of its encampments in the Crepacore Hamlet because he had to fight against the Oria citizens to conquer the city, close to those areas there also was a cruel battle and as a matter of fact an area called “The Defeat” still exists nowadays.
The Rome Chief Officer living in Oria, to fortify the city in order not to undergo enemies’ attacks, ordered to build two castles with towers in the most strategic points: one of them was raised where Torre Santa Susanna is now and the other one a few kilometres south-east of Manduria, more specifically in Avetrana which was named after the roman veterans who guarded the two castles. As the story goes a loyal Christian Roman soldier of the Emperor who guarded, together with the other veterans, the castle and the towers raised in our area, painted the effigy of Saint Susan on a tower wall.
Later on, agglomerations of hovels called “Turris Sanctae Susannae”started to be built around the castle. The hamlets were small agglomerations of hovels() :Crepacore - San Giacomo - Galesano - Tubiano and Sorboli. The inhabitants of these hamlets because of the plague and earthquakes had to move to Torre Santa Susanna which had become the largest, healthiest and stable built-up area because located in a rocky area. In 918 the Saracens unexpectedly arrived in Oria putting the city to the sword and after having killed women and children enslaved the survivors and took them away.
The Basilian Monastery was also destroyed and the few monks who managed to escape moved to the “Galesano” area where they founded the Saint Mary of Galesano Abbey (named after the district in which it was sited). The Abbey was located close to the then Galaso Hamlet and outreached the municipalities of Veglie, Torre and Erchie. In this Hamlet many archaeological finds have been found. De Prezzo writes about the finding of bowls, gold coins, a flight of steps, some columns, lamps, and loads of burial places with “lacrimarum”(pots with tears) on their inside.
