리자넬로‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪13‬개의 천연기념물

Unfortunately, to enter you have to go through a barrier. It is located on private property. Enchanting.

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

It is about 300 years old. It seems that during the Bourbon domination the bandits used to meet under its branches. It is 23 meters high with a circumference of 41 meters

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.
