Ancient 19th century farmhouse owned by Albano

The abbey is located on the Francigena route which can be accessed via a narrow path under a holm oak forest to the right of the abbey.

From Grottaglie to Nardò, the bike path is nonexistent. The route I trusted consists mostly of municipal roads and country paths that run alongside the aqueduct. The bike path is barely signposted, but it doesn't exist yet.

The Cerano forest (or "Tramazzone") has a large number of tree species, the reserve occupies only a portion of it, in the coastal part where there is a notable presence of Mediterranean scrub and holm oak woods. MTB routes both technical and tourist! To explore.

The coastal towers were built around the 16th century for security reasons. In this era, pirate raids were very frequent and the inhabitants, mainly farmers, did not have the necessary means to defend themselves independently. By virtue of this fact, it was decided to build the coastal towers to protect the city from attacks by pirates and barbarians who had the objective of plundering all the riches that a maritime city could possess.

Currently managed by the Fondo Ambiente Italiano (FAI), the Cerrate Abbey complex is unique in its kind and one of the most significant examples of Otranto Romanesque. Some details of the church capitals and the interesting explanations of the FAI guides will leave you speechless.
