Monteruga
Monteruga è una località disabitata del comune di Veglie in provincia di Lecce. Sorta nel ventennio fascista, è un tipico esempio di villaggio dell'Ente Riforma. Si sviluppò in seguito alla riforma fondiaria del 1950 quando numerosi terreni agricoli furono espropriati ed assegnati ai contadini che qui vi si stabilirono. La storia di Monteruga come centro abitato termina con la privatizzazione dell'azienda agricola negli anni ottanta; restano, a testimonianza di un recente passato, gli alloggi, la scuola, la piazza centrale, la chiesa intitolata a sant'Antonio Abate. Il toponimo allude ad un colle solcato da un fosso.
