The town of Patù is 126 kilometers from the Airport of Salento (Brindisi). The small village is located at the extreme edge of Capo di Leuca, at the bottom of the hill of Vereto.

According to historians, the name Patù derives from the Greek pathos (suffering, pain). In fact, it would remember the suffering of the city of Vereto (Veretum), destroyed by the Saracens, from which the village was born. Among the most important historical sites, we mention the archaeological one with the remains of the Messapian city of Vereto, "the Centopietre" and the staircase and the Messapian port in the Bay of San Gregorio, marina di Patù, only 4 kilometers away from it.

Vereto is an ancient Messapian city located a short distance from the town. It is located on a small hill. The city was an important center for trade, both with Greece and with Magna Grecia. It became a Roman municipality and then was razed to the ground in the ninth century by the Saracens. Of this center,  just some monumental testimonies remain, as the foundations of the walls that encircled the city and several burials.

In the Bay of San Gregorio, marina of Patù and distant from it only 4 kilometers, once, there was the port of the city of Vereto. On the spot, in fact, the remains of a staircase of Messapian origi and a well for the supply of fresh water are still visible.

The Centopietre is an ancient funerary monument, declared National Monument of second class in 1873. Dating back to the ninth century, it was built to bury the remains of the Geminian knight.  Messenger of peace killed by the Saracens just before the final battle of June 24, 877, between Christians and Muslims. The rectangular structure is built with 100 blocks of limestone taken from the Messapian city of Vereto. Inside it has several overlapping layers of frescoes on sacred subjects dating back to the fourteenth century.
