Two hectares of preserved Mediterranean scrub where you can walk along natural trails. You can stroll on a beautiful path that leads directly to the Byzantine church of Madonna della Serra and the 16th-century Aragonese watchtower. From this hill, you can admire the sea of Gallipoli and the marinas of Ugento in the distance. The area is full of caves and natural ravines, some of which have been inhabited since the Paleolithic.
