ゆったり散歩

The caves of the Grotte di Castellana were discovered on January 23, 1938, by Franco Anelli and explored by him and Vito Matarrese. Even before the discovery, the hole (or entrance) in the earth was known, but was only used as a garbage dump. The caves can be visited as part of a guided tour. There are two different tours: one is about one kilometer long, the other is 3 kilometers long. The visit always begins in the Grave, a cave 60 meters deep, 100 meters wide, and 100 meters high. The second path leads to the White Grotto. The stalactites here are the color of alabaster. The second path is only accessible to a limited number of visitors, as the cave has no natural ventilation. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grotte_di_Castellana More about the grotto from me: Unfortunately, pictures are only permitted in the first vault, the Grave. The grotto is privately owned. The temperature inside the grotto is 13 degrees Celsius in the first vault and 16 degrees Celsius afterward, with humidity between 60% and 100%. Sturdy shoes and a jacket are recommended. The limestone is quite slippery.

It's a quiet back road route, admirable

Stopping for a photo is a must

Very nice cave tour. Tours are also available in English, we recommend booking online at the desired time. Photography is prohibited in most cave chambers and this is enforced.

This is definitely worth a look to get an impression of what it is like to live in a Trulli house.

Definitely worth seeing because it is very large, furnished and well preserved. The upper floor consists of a room, previously used as a guest room, where an old weaving loom has now been placed. Built by an important local family, it is still private. Modest ticket cost. It is located in the beautiful Aia Vecchia district.

Entrance 2 euros with regular receipt and possibility of paying with cards. Unique 2-storey trullo. inside rooms furnished as in the past. Small signs to explain what life was like inside the trullo. The kitchen with the large fireplace and the bedroom are interesting. Small shop at the entrance exit with interesting traditional Apulian cookbooks. 2 euros can be invested.
