Posted in Byzantine Salento collection komoot.it/collection/1811756/-salento-bizantino - By chance, the track I follow leads to a suburban road towards Muro Leccese. I am attracted by a glow that faintly illuminates a small votive chapel like so many in Salento but, surprisingly, the frescoes inside it seem to come from very far away, that is to say from the period in which the Basilian monks frequented these lands. No indication of name, date of construction or dedication. What is certain is that it is not left to itself given the care with which it is treated.

If anyone could identify what appears to be a votive chapel with Byzantine frescoes... that would be interesting :)
