In honor of the area's food and wine culture and craftsmanship, Maglie hosts the Mercatino del Gusto every year, an event that attracts thousands of visitors annually.
The city is characterized by numerous churches and historical monuments made with the famous Lecce baroque stone, attracting visitors from all over the world and thus creating a cultural center for intellectual activities.
