Pied a' terre in piazza

This is the Salento limestone plain, with low agricultural land of olive groves and dry-stone walls. The Adriatic coast is close, with the inlet at Porto Badisco and the coast around Otranto within about 10 km. Giurdignano is in the area known for a dense concentration of prehistoric dolmens and menhirs. Otranto is the nearest town of size; it has a walled historic centre, a castle, and a cathedral with its mosaic floor. The area is known more broadly for olive country and the Salento coast.
