Just a short distance from the outer edges of the Salento greenhouses, in Tuglie, stands the Museum of Salento Rural Culture, founded in 1982 and housed in the 17th-century Palazzo Ducale.\n\nWalking through the twenty exhibition halls, visitors can observe up close the work tools of farmers, carpenters, coopers, blacksmiths, farriers, joiners, basket weavers, surveyors, cellar masters, olive mill workers, scale makers, tinsmiths, grinders, and many others, alongside everyday objects and children's toys.\n\nOf particular interest is the library holding feudal documents related to emphyteusis and tithes, invaluable for documenting the demographic trends of the town's families.\n\nAttached to the Palazzo Ducale is an ancient farm with dry-stone terraced fields where the land is cultivated using organic farming techniques.
