Very nice small private museum

Rock church dating back to the year 1000

Included in the Byzantine Salento collection komoot.it/collection/1811756/-salento-byzantine - Always approachable, what remains of the crypt and the frescoes are clearly visible. A grate placed in front limits access to the apse and, above all, prevents you from accidentally falling into the hypogeum below. The original stairs that allowed the descent towards the cave have collapsed. To peek inside, simply go to the back where an opening allows you to peer into the darkness below. Someone is trying to clean it up at least. Who and for what purpose I don't know. https://www.salentoacolory.it/la-chiesa-cripta-madonna-della-grottella-arneo/

Included in the Salento Bizantino collection https://komoot.it/collection/1811756/-salento-bizantino - It is located within the cemetery area, at the date of writing it is still an open construction site. No indication about opening days and times unfortunately. https://www.salogentis.it/2016/11/19/la-cripta-della-favana-veglie/

Included in the Salento Bizantino collection komoot.it/collection/1811756/-salento-bizantino - Pours into a state of embarrassing abandonment. Yet it has a historical, artistic and cultural potential that deserves more attention. No contact points described at the entrance to the site. No indication about opening days and hours unfortunately. It appears to be at risk of collapse. https://massimonegro.wordpress.com/2012/12/13/galatina-un-appello-per-lantica-s-maria-dei-grotti/

This is the best museum in Lecce. Unique what this family presents in the house.

Posted in Byzantine Salento collection komoot.it/collection/1811756/-salento-bizantino - It is perhaps the most surprising point of the carnation pilgrimage route. One approaches convinced to find only a crucifix planted in the ground among the stones, and instead the treasure is hidden under it.

The "Museo Faggiano" is a private historical-archaeological building in the historical center of Lecce. It all started almost by accident in 2001, when the building's owner, Luciano Faggiano, was forced to break up the damp floors to clean sewer pipes. During the works, historical-archaeological evidence of great interest reappeared. This turned the house into a real archaeological site where you can admire more than 2000 years of history. It was also discovered that the house was once an old nunnery, which was then built around the 16th-17th centuries. century was closed. The basement rooms were made visible and accessible to visitors. You can see cisterns, a large round silos used to store grain and food in the Middle Ages. The excavations have revealed the remains of a wall structure, a tank with a circular plan, another very large cistern, a well 10 meters deep from which you can see the waters of the Idume river, a square cistern, a rectangular tank and numerous in the rock carved gorges uncovered. Among the works excavated in the rock, you can admire a small tomb of a child, a large common tomb, a stone dryer used to dry the dead and a section of underground road that connected the building to other sites. The owner's son himself tells visitors the story of the excavation that his father carried out with him, his brother and other family members. All of this was financed by the family itself. The Italian state has only seconded an archaeologist to accompany the uncovering and excavation. Neighbors of the family prefer not to dig in their homes for fear of finding archaeological remains as well.
