Grottole presents itself as a village divided into two distinct parts: the ancient part, full of cobbled streets and historic buildings that narrate the history of the community, and the modern part, more functional and contemporary.

The contrast between the two parts adds a unique element to the experience of visiting Grottole, highlighting the diversity and coexistence of past and present.
