beautiful and very suggestive route.

Discovered by chance on my second pass along that road, unfortunately in complete disrepair and targeted by the usual uncivilized people who threw waste of various types, even dangerous, down there. Looking out at the entrance, at the sight of glimpses of that material I gave up and preferred not to visit it. On the back, three light wells are easily identifiable which illuminate its cavities and which suggest the size of the oil mill. Sin....

At the gates of Ugento in the locality of Cupelle, this beautiful and rare underground dovecote carved into the rock is located in the rock complex. Very suggestive. https://www.salogentis.it/2014/11/29/il-villaggio-rupestre-di-ugento/

sliding stretch between abandoned quarries, no technical stretch

On the highest point of the Serra di Casarano, in the Manfio district in the Ruffano area, stands the characteristic Crypt of the Crucifix, or of Santa Costantina, a cavity of natural origin transformed by the Byzantines into a place of worship around the year 1000.

Posted in Byzantine Salento collection https://www.komoot.it/collection/1811756/-salento-bizantino - Set in a fantastic environment with a view towards the Ionian Sea, it is absolutely worth visiting. It is easier to find information regarding the opening of the crypt in the summer season but, the closed gate still allows a glimpse of the internal composition even if only up to a certain point. Some frescoes are also clearly visible from the outside. Worth the visit. https://www.salogentis.it/2013/01/20/il-crocefisso-della-macchia-o-cripta-del-crocefisso/
