Small village church in Serranova, dedicated to St. Mary Goretti. Its simple construction and serene atmosphere make it a typical example of rural religious architecture in Puglia. A peaceful place to pause during a walk or bike ride in the area.

In 1278 the walls of Villanova were built, and about 20 years later the castle was built by the Angevins, who took over the domination of Ostuni from the Swabian-Normans, who were responsible for the intensification of olive cultivation. From surviving documents, demonstrating its strategic importance, it appears that around the 15th century the castle was a fully active defensive structure. In fact, the city of Ostuni under Aragonese domination, thanks also to the castle and the small port of Villanova, managed to maintain the status of a state city, therefore free from feudal duties. Due to the various destructions over time, little remains of the original 14th-century construction. Currently the castle is made up of three bodies that act as square towers with a sloped base. Around the building, at the height of the first floor, runs a tubular torus and from the roof of the building rises a turret modeled on the prototype of a lighthouse.

Abandoned farmhouse from the 1600s.

Abandoned farmhouse. Very nice dirt road! After passing the farmhouse, going straight you reach Serranova passing through the crypt of San Biagio or turning left you head towards the beautiful Mesagne!
