Access to the Fossil Park by reservation

Rediscovered in the 1960s lying on the ground, it was repositioned upright in the 1970s, at the direction of the Taranto Cultural Heritage Office, by the landowner. Today, meticulously maintained on private property, it is visited by school groups and interested groups. While it isn't directly visible from the road, the owners of the residence were very helpful and kind in granting me access to the property, telling me a few anecdotes, and allowing me to approach the menhir.

Inserted in the Pietre del Salento collection komoot.com/it-it/collection/2431081/-pietre-del-salento?ref=undefined - Lustrelle quarry, abandoned and redeveloped quarry (unique in Salento) for educational purposes by the owners in the Cutrofiano fiefdom and which contains information of inestimable value about our past, preserved, coincidentally, between and within the stones of Salento. Better not to look for fossils so as not to disturb or worse ruin the research work and of those who regenerated this place with effort and passion.

Inserted in the Pietre del Salento collection https://www.komoot.com/it-it/collection/2431081/-pietre-del-salento?ref=undefined - Located inside a private plot, it is still visible and approachable. Well signposted with vertical signs placed on the local road.

Today's News (02 Sep 2022): They are resuming excavations in search of traces of the Neanderthals.

Caves known for the discovery of the famous statuettes (now kept in the national archaeological museum of Taranto) but less known about the exact position of the same. The truth is that, although the enhancement interventions of the archaeological site are visible but have been poorly maintained over the years, little has been done to make known the periods and times in which you can go to visit the excavations. http://www.salogentis.it/2012/03/17/la-grotta-delle-veneri-di-parabita/
