Casarano

Highlight • Settlement

Casarano is located in south-western Salento, in the province of Lecce and has a historic center full of Baroque churches and palaces, such as the mother church, the Palazzo D'Aquino, and a crypt of the Crucifix with Byzantine frescoes and a column dedicated to the patron saint Saint John the Almoner.

Unpaved trail in decent condition.

Highlight • Trail

On the map the small road is indicated as asphalted, but in reality it is not. However, it is short and smooth enough to ride with a road bike.

What a terrible road!

Highlight • Trail

This road is marked on the map as paved, but it's actually a gravel road. Very annoying on a road bike.

Polyphemus Cave

Highlight • Cave

Very particular rock complex, known above all for the presence of a rare dovecote in the cave (for some from the late Roman period), with hundreds of small cells dug entirely into the rock.
