Carpignano Salentino

The landscape around Carpignano Salentino is a low limestone plain of olive groves in inland Salento, which has shaped both its compact urban form and local olive-oil economy. The town belongs to Grecìa Salentina, a group of communities where the Griko linguistic tradition reflects centuries of Greek cultural influence in southern Apulia. Its rock-cut Crypt of Santa Cristina preserves Byzantine frescoes, linking the settlement to the medieval religious culture of the Salento peninsula between the Adriatic and Ionian seas.
