Protected WWF oasis not accessible by bike on the sea side (not even on foot unless accompanied by guides)

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

Splendid example of rock archaeology. Their use is not clear

One of the two dolmens of Melendugno: the Dolmen Placa

The grooves present on the Dolmen Placa and the small hole at the center of the covering slab of the Dolmen Gurgulante (located a few meters in the direction of Melendugno), immediately make one think of a place dedicated to ritual sacrifices, rather than a burial place as has often been hypothesized.

The Le Cesine Nature Reserve and WWF Oasis is the last stretch of coastal marshes that once characterized the Salento coast.

The name of the Menhir derives from the griko and means "Big Cross". In 1880 Cosimo De Giorgi described it with larger dimensions than its current one. It was demolished several times due to an ancient legend linked to a treasure hidden at the foot of the monolith.

Inserted in the collection https://www.komoot.com/it-it/collection/2431081/-pietre-del-salento - Located in the middle of the intersection, it is easily visible and accessible by bike.
