It is thought
that San Cesario was founded by roman settlements and troops
settled near Lecce.
In 1180 the place-name of San Cesario di Lecce appeared for
the first time.
In 1460 a colony of slaves albanians arrived at San Cesario,
they settled around the little church of San Giovanni
Evangelista.
In the sixteenth century the town was divided in two parts,
one ruled by the Guarinis, a noble family of Lecce, and the
other one by the church of Santa Croce in Lecce.
In 1671 the Marullis, a rich family bought the two parts of
the town realizing the unification; since that time the town
had a flourishing period.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century San Cesario took
part in the plot against the Bourbons and in 1848 with
Vincenzo Cepolla in the first parliament of the Kingdom of
the Two Sicilies. Cepolla took part in the first temporary
government in Otranto Land in 1870.
In 1880 the Ducal Palace was transfered from the Marullis to
the Municipality of San Cesario where, nowadays, there is
the Town hall.
