I don't know if they are actually ancient shelters for monks. They are certainly very ancient underground structures a few meters from the singletrack. It seems that they are the remains of a larger rock village partly present in the adjacent Masseria San Pietro

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.

A legend tells that the clear waters of the natural pool were particularly appreciated by a splendid princess who used to immerse herself in it, arousing the admiration of the men who looked at her. Among them were present poets and singers who, enchanted by so much beauty, came to compose magnificent verses for the girl who swam. Clearly this is only a popular legend but, throughout the site, there are numerous testimonies of the presence of man in these places since remote times. In fact, ancient Messapian inscriptions (but also Greek and Latin) have been found on the walls of the cavities, which would confirm the consecration to the god Taotor.

an artificial cavity overlooking the sea, is the cave of San Cristoforo, the most important of those existing there. It is a white limestone cave, open in the bay of Torre dell’Orso on the south-eastern side and looks like a rectangular excavation, probably carried out between the 4th and 3rd centuries BC. It was used as a place of worship and its ancient graffiti in Greek and Latin testify to it
