グロッターリエのおすすめライド

The Mother Church of Montemesola, dedicated to Santa Maria della Croce. The original building dates back to the 18th century but has undergone numerous and significant renovations in modern times.

Excellent climb to reach Martina Franca and the Itria Valley

The Salita di Pilano is a classic route connecting Crispiano to Martina Franca. It's lightly trafficked (always watch out for cars, as it's not a cycle path), and is about 4 km long at a 3-4% gradient, with peaks never exceeding 5%. The stretch through the woods is beautiful, providing shelter from the wind when you're caught in a headwind.

The Sanctuary of the Madonna Mutata of Grottaglie stands on land where there was a church dating back to the 10th century, on the border between Martina Franca and Grottaglie. According to tradition, the current dedication to the Virgin Mutata is subsequent to the miracle that occurred in 1359. Inside the 10th century church there was an image depicting the Madonna, placed on the wall facing south, that is, in the direction of Martina Franca, which therefore claimed ownership. By miracle the image was found on the north wall, confirming once and for all that it belonged to the city of Grottaglie.
