Founded by the Messapian, has still got many evidences of its ancient past, and among them are the megalithic walls surrounded by the remains of the moat that encircled the city and the necropolis. It had to face several wars with the close city of Taranto and during one of them Archidamus III, King of Sparta-who was called to help the people of Taranto- was killed under the walls of Manduria in 338 BC. Around 260 BC, Manduria became part of the Roman Empire together with other cities of Salento. During the coming of Hannibal into Italy, Manduria aligned itself against Rome and the repression was therefore very brutal.
According to historical source thousands of men were deported (Q. Fabius consul oppidum in Sallentinis Manduriam vi cepit. Ibi ad tria milia hominum capta et ceterae praedae aliquantum). Destroyed in the following centuries by the Saracens, it was refounded in the XI century with the name of Casalnuovo; the new city expanded towards the west and it only partially occupied the old city of Manduria. The eastern area was left unbuilt to host the ancient necropolis.
The city of Casalnuovo was part of “Terra D’Otranto” and feud of the Hugot family (from 1339) who were succeeded by the De tremblay (XV century)and then by the De Raho, the Montefuscoli, the Dentice, the Castromediano, the Bonifacio, the Borromeo, the Chyurlia and lastly by the Imperiali of Francavilla who held the city until the end of the XVIII century. With the Royal Decree of November 17, 1789, Ferdinand I of Bourbon, King of the Two Sicilies gave back the city its original name. On February 4, 1895, Umberto I, King of Italy, granted Manduria the title of city. In the same year the city deliberated that a commemorative plaque with the most memorable dates of the city had to be put beneath the arch of “Porta Napoli”
