Miggiano is a small village of the Salento, where you can see some interesting noble palaces as Episcopo Palace: that  is a XVI century big construction whose façade is well-decorated and whose rooms are wide.  Vernaleone Palace too, dating back to the same period, is well adorned. Both the have been restored a lot of times so far. One of the most interesting religious monuments is the Mother Church, built in 1561 and often restored: its façade is very simple and the front door too. Inside you can see some elegant altars and some interesting paintings representing holy images. Chapel of the Madonna of the Carmine probably dates back to the XVIII century, and the façade  is very simple as the interiors. The Chapel of St. Joseph was built at the end of the XVII century. The main façade is very simple while inside you can see a very richly decorated altar of baroque style. Outside  the urban there is the Chapel of St. Marina  that was built on of a wonderful Basilian Crypt, where you can  admire an ancient fresco of the saint. There are some traces of frescos representing holy  images, all dating back to the XIV century. Lots of  believers go on pilgrimage to Chapel of St Marina at least once a year. St Marina is the patroness of Miggiano and she is celebrated on July 17th.

The inhabitants of Miggiano have two nicknames:  "mangia paparina" that means people eating paparina - a particular kind of vegetables- and "mangia miju" that means people eating millet. These  vegetables grow spontaneously in the country. In the past, during the war, the people of Miggiano used to eat above all  these vegetables. Now people still pick up the paparina, they cook it with   the meat of pork and they eat this dish above all during a feast celebrated on the third Sunday of October.
