beautiful and very suggestive route.

Overlooking the bay north of Gallipoli and practically at sea level, it is perhaps less conspicuous than other watchtowers that surround the whole of Salento. It is worth observing it more carefully. Part of the Ciclonica Circuit https://cicloturismo.puglia.it/ciclovia-salento-ionico/

Very scenic crossing point

Nice example of the remains of the tower of Santa Maria al Bagno

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/
