    The crypt of the Madonna della Grotta is an underground rock church located in the municipality of Ortelle in the province of Lecce.
    The construction of the crypt dates back to the 13th century.The interior of the cave, in the past entirely covered with paintings, preserves other images.

    Posted in the Salento Bizantino collection komoot.it/collection/1811756/-salento-bizantino - The indications regarding opening times and days are present in front of the entrance gate, unfortunately, however, despite having planned the arrival in an adequate manner, the crypt is remained closed. Asked for information from the local authorities (traffic policeman) present in the nearby fair area, he reports that, for maintenance reasons, the crypt is now inaccessible (October 2022). According to him, perhaps, by the end of this year it should be usable again. Too bad not to report it through the information channels in an official way ... it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cripta_della_Madonna_della_Grotta
