The small church of San Magno is located in the Alta Murgia National Park. Its peculiarity is that of enclosing two buildings with different functions in the same building: a neviera, used to cram the snow and reuse it in summer as an important source of water, and a small church for the population who lived in the nearby farms. The basement structure of the neviera is the oldest, the church was later built, which initially had a barrel roof which was subsequently rebuilt with a pitched roof, probably after a collapse. On the south-east facade there is a window and on the roof there is a small tuff bell tower surmounted by an iron cross. Of the church, there is a trace in a notarial document called "Donation of San Magno" of 1128 reported in the 9th volume of the Bari diplomatic code which attests to the existence of the church as early as the beginning of the 12th century.
