The Basilian caves are ancient crypts dug into the rock or underground that are found in the territory of Muro Leccese. These caves were used as places of worship by the Basilian monks who took refuge in Salento between the 9th and 13th centuries and are decorated with Byzantine frescoes and religious symbols.
