몬테메솔라 최고의 라이딩 경로

10% 구간, 혹은 그 이상은 마을을 통과해서 내려갈 때 표지판이 나오기 훨씬 전에 나옵니다. 심장을 제대로 뛰게 하는 상당한 경사가 있습니다. 그런 다음 왼쪽 도로로 좌회전하면 10% 표지판이 있는 구간이 나옵니다. 하지만 이 구간에서는 정상까지 약 4-6% 정도만 오릅니다. 그래도 멋진 오르막입니다. 이 지역의 몇 안 되는 오르막 중 하나입니다.

A small town that can be reached in less than an hour; excellent for a stopover during a journey.

Excellent climb to reach Martina Franca and the Itria Valley

Locorotondo is a characteristic Apulian village located in the Itria Valley, with a circular layout, known for its “cummerse”, typical houses with sloping roofs.

The Salita di Pilano is a classic route connecting Crispiano to Martina Franca. It's lightly trafficked (always watch out for cars, as it's not a cycle path), and is about 4 km long at a 3-4% gradient, with peaks never exceeding 5%. The stretch through the woods is beautiful, providing shelter from the wind when you're caught in a headwind.

Built in 1938 and erected in 1958, the Parish of San Michele Arcangelo is located in the small village of San Simone (Crispiano-TA). Behind it we find the chapel dedicated to Maria SS.ma del Carmelo built in 1649, as can be seen from the date engraved on the entrance architrave, together with the coat of arms IHS, Iesus Hominum Salvator, Jesus Savior of men. In ancient times it was dedicated to San Filippo Neri, depicted in the apse of the same chapel, next to the Virgin, to the right of the observer, because the entire farmhouse belonged to the homonymous farm, bordering the church. This farm was later called San Simini and still retains this name today. Due to its position in relation to the cow cart, the chapel suggests that in its time it served as a stop and reference point in the transhumance from the Murge towards Salento. The chapel consists of a single small room with barrel vaults and inside there are frescoes: the Virgin of Carmel with Child, on the left St. Thomas the Apostle and St. Michael the Archangel and St. Martin of Tours, on the right St. Philip Neri and St. Simon the Apostle. Above the entrance door stands a beautiful bell tower with a 19th-century bell.

The Sanctuary of the Madonna Mutata of Grottaglie stands on land where there was a church dating back to the 10th century, on the border between Martina Franca and Grottaglie. According to tradition, the current dedication to the Virgin Mutata is subsequent to the miracle that occurred in 1359. Inside the 10th century church there was an image depicting the Madonna, placed on the wall facing south, that is, in the direction of Martina Franca, which therefore claimed ownership. By miracle the image was found on the north wall, confirming once and for all that it belonged to the city of Grottaglie.
