Otranto Area Information
Near this "masseria," are the ruins of an ancient, pre-Roman settlement called "Roca". Thanks to several excavations, it has been made possible to find out about the civilization and the lifestyle of the ancient local inhabitants, called "Messapi", a civilization which inhabited Puglia. Roca features also a beautiful grotto on the sea, "Grotta della poesia" (Grotto of Poetry); the prayers of seamen in ancient Greek and Latin are engraved on its walls; these sailors used to take refuge in the grotto during storms, and give thanks to their gods for protecting them.
DISTANCES:Otranto is 16 kilometres away. This beautiful town on the sea is famous for its kasbah-like, charming historic centre, for its Romanic Cathedral with an eleventh-century mosaic floor which is among the largest and most mysterious in the world, and depicts the Tree of Life and the Zodiac. All over the landscape, you can find remains of pre-Christian civilisation of great artistic and historic value, and also examples of paleolithic "Dolmen" and "Menhir," whose origins are still unknown. From the bay you have a stunning view of the high walls of Otranto, where various different craft shops and seafood restaurants can be found.
Only 6 kilometres from the Masseria, are the spectacular "Alimini" beaches, with clear water and sand dunes which can be more than 15m high. Boat tours to the coves are available. Guided tours of the Province's most important monuments are also available. The countryside around the Masseria is a landscape full of olive trees and natural vegetation, and there are cycle tracks which allow cycle tourists to enjoy the environment at its best.
