Salento Bike Trail

Posted in the Salento Fortifications collection komoot.it/collection/1396951/-salento-fortificazioni - Abbey restored in 2008 displays its history and the surrounding area with well-made signage. The underground part is suggestive. For detailed information there are also comprehensive reviews on the web. The naturalistic context in which it is built is beautiful, it is worth a visit.

Inserted in a rural context rich in historical testimonies, 100 meters above sea level, in a dominant position on the fertile “Ruga valley”, the abbey complex probably originated in the fourteenth century. Mentioned in several documents, in 1378 and 1412, which sanction its geographical belonging to the territory of Neviano and to the jurisdiction of the Neretine curia, the small village of Macugno performed a mandatory stop function for pilgrims heading to Santa Maria di Leuca, for the traders and shepherds who periodically split the hinterland along the junction of the two ports of Gallipoli and Otranto.
