Beautiful square of Melpignano

In the center of Melpignano, Piazza San Giorgio is named after the patron saint of the city. The mother church of the same name overlooks it and has a portico that is quite rare in Puglia. It is one of the places where the famous popular music event called "Notte della Taranta" takes place.

Unfortunately, the crypt is not accessible to the public. It's sad to see such a jewel completely neglected!

The Teofilo Menhir, at 4.70 meters tall, holds the record for the tallest menhir in Puglia. Its dating is uncertain; some scholars believe the monolith dates to a period after the Bronze Age.

According to neighboring residents, the crypt has been closed for a couple of years now for organizational reasons. It shouldn't have any structural problems because it was renovated in the past.

The Poetry Park of Sogliano Cavour is a natural park that extends over 20 hectares of land, in one of the most beautiful pine forests in Salento, full of exploration trails with indications and captions on the flora and fauna species typical of the area.

It's a small town of just over seven thousand inhabitants. It belongs, together with the municipalities of Martignano, Sternatia, Zollino, Martano, Castrignano de 'Greci, Corigliano d'Otranto, Soleto and Melpignano, to the so-called area of ​​"Grecìa Salentina", a sub-area of ​​the province of Lecce where remains alive in some traditions the Greek-Byzantine culture spread in Puglia between the sixth and twelfth centuries and in particular the dialect, now considered as a real language, the 'griko'. The name of the town infact comes from 'Kalimera', meaning "good morning" in Greek. After all, the Byzantine influence continued to exist in the religious rite until 1663 and this also allowed the language to be preserved. Moving slightly away from the original route and follow to the right (with the church at your back) along via Montinari, the most important axis of the town, you can reach the small church of S. Antonio and the sider "hospitale" which once welcomed pilgrims and passing people. The road has beautiful courtyards, such as that of S. Calimero and S. Paolo. Some others smaller courtyards are an example of a poor peasant dwelling, equipped with a room in front (the 'sappuèrtu') which served as a tool's shed and animals'shelter.
