In the historical centre of Veglie there are the typical case a corte and some interesting noble palaces to see such as  Verrienti Palace and Caccaitore Palace. Cacciatore Palace was built in  '600, and its façade is adorned with elegant windows and  a beautiful front door. Among the religious monuments there is the Mother Church dedicated to St. John Baptist. It was built  in the XVI century on a XV century construction. The façade has a beautiful Renaissance portal, an enormous rose window and the sculptures of St. Peter,  St. Paul  and of the Madonna. Inside there are elegant altars and some canvasses representing holy images. The Convent of the Minor Conventual Friars, was built in  1579, on  a XV century building. Now nobody lives in this convent, so it is not in good conditions. This building includes the  Church of St  Maria of Veglie where you can admire a Byzantine fresco, representing the Madonna. The most important monument,  historically and artistically,  is the Crypt of the Favana, that is near the convent. Probably it dates back to the IX century, and it was used to celebrate  both the Greek rite and  the Latin one. There are a lot of ancient frescos representing St. John, the Madonna with the Child, St. Francis, St Andrew St Anthony and St Stephen. The Church of St Maria of the Graces dates back to the XVIII century and  it is very simple. Outside  the urban centre you can see the Church of St Maria  from Constantinople. The façade mirrors the simplicity of the inside, that is of octagonal-shaped. In the territory of Veglie  there are some subterranean oil-presses  dug in the rock. Recently another one has been discovered (XVI century) . The patron of Veglie is St. John Baptist, that is celebrated solemnly on the second Sunday of August.

The nickname of the inhabitants of Veglie is "gypsies." They are so called because in the past a group of gypsies settled  in this small centre. What is more the traders in livestock  of Veglie used to be called "gypsies" too . Since the people of this centre were very good as merchants they inherited this strange nickname.
