    The Romanesque-style building is the last evidence of the ancient Aurio farmhouse which disappeared between the 15th and 17th centuries. The nearby tower of the sixteenth century, called Torre dei cavalieri, was part of the defense system that included the coastal towers and the fortified farms of Salento.

      The nearby Torre dei Cavallari, alas it is in a serious state of neglect, it would be beautiful and above all it would be necessary to restore the right (if not military) historical value to these buildings that in the past contributed to the defense of OUR territories. It could return as a bow and a kind of thanks to the "tasks" performed.

        Inserted in collection Byzantine Salento komoot.it/collection/1811756/-salento-byzantine - The rock church of Santa Maria d'Aurio is opposite. Its neighbor, the Torre dei Cavallari is there alone to watch over and protect it as if they were a whole, as if they had lived together all the vicissitudes from the 16th century to today although the 12th century church is "older".
