Via dei Cavallari della Marina, 9, Massafra

Massafra lies in the ravine country of the Murgia Tarantina, with deep limestone gravine cutting through the settlement and nearby countryside. The area is tied to the Gravina di San Marco and the wider system of rock-cut ravines that characterise this part of inland Taranto province. The Ionian coast is nearby, with the Gulf of Taranto shaping daily access to the sea. The nearest larger city is Taranto, which has a port, rail connections, major services and the Aragonese Castle. This part of Puglia is known for olive groves, karst terrain and rock churches in the gravine.
