Trappeto dell'Arco Hypogeum Olive Mill

Along the road we find on the right almost at the edge of the blade known as Torre Bianca a Trappeto known as the Arco placed between extensive arable land with sparse olive trees whose crown is shaped like a flag by the mistral wind creating a suggestive landscape similar to an African savannah . We have news of this mill in 1519 in a description of the properties of the bishop's canteen of Ostuni of which it was part. It was called the "trappeto dell’arco" in reference to the toponym of the district which was already called "degli Archi" in the thirteenth century, crossed by a road indicated with the same term. Qualified as "ancient" in the land registry of 1608, it is "ruined" in the following one of 1613.
