    Included in the Salento Fortifications and Byzantine Salento collection komoot.it/collection/1396951/-salento-fortificazioni komoot.it/collection/1811756/-salento-byzantine - Located a few kilometers south of Otranto , the monastery of San Nicola di Casole represents one of the most important places in Salento, at a historical, artistic and cultural level [source: it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monastero_di_San_Nicola_di_Casole].
