The quantity of lush greenery of the Mediterranean scrub keeps the naturalistic value of this crossed area high, so much so that you are amazed when you descend from the greenhouse on the east side, especially for the people of Tuglia who are used to peering towards the Ionian Sea. San Nicola di Macugno is its emblem, the History and the stories told that involve this place and Nature with the harmoniously integrated cultivated fields give beauty and joyfulness.

Inserted in a rural context rich in historical testimonies, 100 meters above sea level, in a dominant position on the fertile “Ruga valley”, the abbey complex probably originated in the fourteenth century. Mentioned in several documents, in 1378 and 1412, which sanction its geographical belonging to the territory of Neviano and to the jurisdiction of the Neretine curia, the small village of Macugno performed a mandatory stop function for pilgrims heading to Santa Maria di Leuca, for the traders and shepherds who periodically split the hinterland along the junction of the two ports of Gallipoli and Otranto.

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/

Caves known for the discovery of the famous statuettes (now kept in the national archaeological museum of Taranto) but less known about the exact position of the same. The truth is that, although the enhancement interventions of the archaeological site are visible but have been poorly maintained over the years, little has been done to make known the periods and times in which you can go to visit the excavations. http://www.salogentis.it/2012/03/17/la-grotta-delle-veneri-di-parabita/

Archaeological investigations in these environments have produced remarkable results. Artifacts belonging to the Neanderthals and Chromagnoids have been found for a time interval ranging between 35,000 and 10,000 years ago. But none of these tens of thousands of finds has caused as much sensation as two small bone figurines, the famous Venus of Parabita. These are the ones that give the cave its name. The Venuses depict women with pronounced shapes, with the pubis, belly, hips and breasts clearly visible. They are extremely small, just 9 and 6.5 centimeters, both faceless but beautifully show their age, between 10,000 and 12,000 years. In this tour most of the information regarding the famous Venus was dictated (obviously pedaling uphill 😅) by his friend Alfredo Russo, a great historical admirer as well as a tireless sportsman.

The ancient quarries of Petrore were built with a different technique, in fact there are no excavation wells, here the limestone deposit is outcropping. In this case we speak of "ingrottamenti". If you enter inside but already stopping outside the caves you can see, from the breakthroughs of some vaults, various glimmers of light that illuminate these cavities. On the other side of the road, between rocks and dry grass, there are various traces of small ancient open-air quarries. Mysterious place to visit 😉
