Our visits
Underground Gravina
A true mirror world beneath the modern city. It's a labyrinth of tunnels, cellars, cave churches, and aqueducts that tell the story of millennia of life carved into the tuff, where the boundary between architecture and geology disappears.
Curtomartino Cave
A precious archaeological and natural treasure trove. Famous for its spectacular limestone formations, it is a key site for the study of Apulian prehistory, having hosted human communities since the Paleolithic.
Trullo Caves
The first karst cave used for tourism in Puglia. It's an alabaster garden located just a few meters underground, characterized by a forest of stalactites and stalagmites that seem to reproduce, underground, the shapes of the famous trulli on the surface.
Caves of God in Mottola
Known as the "Sistine Chapel of rock civilization," it is a complex of churches carved into the rock (such as San Nicola and San Gregorio) that house Byzantine frescoes of extraordinary beauty, immersed in the wild landscape of the Ionian ravines.
Grotte di Santa Croce a Bisceglie
Un archivio naturale del Paleolitico incastonato tra le rocce della Murgia, dove l'uomo preistorico trovò rifugio e lasciò tracce indelebili. Tra pareti levigate dal tempo e reperti archeologici, queste cavità raccontano una storia millenaria di sopravvivenza e riti ancestrali, fungendo da ponte suggestivo tra le origini dell'umanità e il mare poco distante.
