beautiful stretch that from Palagianello crosses the Gravina di San Biagio and Santa Lucia

Starting point for hikes in the Pianelle forest. There's a small bar. There's a sign near the fountain: non-potable water. But we always drank it.

The Church of San Michele in Triglie was built on the Triglio hill, between Crispiano and Statte, between 1722 and 1746, by the will of the Bitetto family, who dedicated this place sacred to San Michele Arcangelo for a family devotion. The building rises above the remains of an ancient cave dedicated to the Saint that can still be visited today and decorated with frescoes by modern era. The church was later called the church of San Michele in Triglie from the name of the Contrada Triglie which hosts it and which takes its name from the ravine of the same name. The new chapel of San Michele in Triglie was instead built at the end of the nineteenth century by the Coneviva family, who inherited the farm from the Blasi family. Various historical events have seen the sacred place stripped of its sacred furnishings, around in 1841 it even became a warehouse / barn and was forbidden to worship in 1958. Thanks to the devotion and perseverance of the Coneviva family, the church was restored and today it is possible to visit it.
