Recently renovated, Piazza San Vincenzo lies in the historic heart of Ugento, a small town with ancient Messapian origins.\n\nThe square, lined with young trees, benches, and lampposts, is graced by the neoclassical facade of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, rebuilt in the 18th century after the Saracen attack that razed Ugento to the ground in 1537.\n\nNearby, one can glimpse the Gothic arches of the Clock Tower, erected in 1912, which houses the offices of Pro Loco Ugento and Marine and the Civil Protection Service.\n\nOn the opposite side of the square, in the center of a fenced flowerbed, stands the pristine white Monument to San Vincenzo Martire, bearing the date of January 22, 1948.
