Bonifica dei Paduli degli Spunderati

Bonifica dei Paduli degli Spunderati is a fascinating natural park that is the result of a 1920s reclamation project.

This unique area transformed from marshland into a system of interconnected lakes and canals (Bacini di Ugento) is one of the largest coastal lake systems in the Salento region.

The site impresses with its diversity of ecosystems - from sandy beaches and dunes to marshy environments and Mediterranean scrubland. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundance of flora and fauna, while history enthusiasts will appreciate the context of the reclamation project known as 'Legge Mussolini'.
