Do not think twice and come to live a unique experience based on history, nature and legends.
The tour will begin with a visit to the church ofSanta Maria degli Angeli,a typical example of rupestrian architecture of Greek Orthodox rite, carved into the steep part of the Gravina, probably built between 700 and 800 but discovered only in the 50s of last century following the renovation of Via Fontana la Stella. You have to know that this church was originally known as Santa Maria delle Tombe, because of the tombs present both inside and outside the church. This is also the only rock church that has preserved, in the nave, the altar used during liturgical functions for the distribution of the Eucharist, called “ara”.
From here, you will walk along theAqueduct BridgeFrom here, you will walk along the church, situated on the ravine of the stream, joining the new town to the old one, several times protagonist of important film sets, such as in 2020 for the 007 movie “No Time to Die “., “Tolo Tolo” by Checco Zalone, “Pinocchio” by Garrone, “The Last Paradise” by Scamarcio, “Captain Maria”, “Maria Magdalena” and others.
Connected to the Ponte Acquedotto, thanks to the last remaining tower of the sixteenth-century walls, there is the so-called“Medieval Bastionwhich represented not only a means of defence, but also a meeting place for many Gravinesi, given the possibility of getting water and maybe having a chat. You have to know, in fact, that the bastions were defensive elements built around the 15th century and had the purpose of protecting the “cortine”, that is the straight stretches of wall more exposed to enemy attacks. Crossing the Bastion you can enjoy the suggestive view of the archaeological area of Petramagna and the countless caves that characterize the landscape of the opposite side of the Canyon.
Continue the excursion discovering theAlta Murgia National Park, the most fascinating karst hinterland of all Apulia, through one of its most famous paths: the one that crosses the Scoparello Wood in the countryside of Ruvo di Puglia and touches the Jazzo del Demonio with its paralupi stones and its dark legend.It is said, in fact, that one night two shepherds, because of a heavy rain, improvised a shelter in which to shelter and while they were warming around the fire, their dogs began to bark insistently, when suddenly everything went silent in an eerie silence. It was a man who seemed to have lost his way, so the two shepherds made him sit around the fire, but suddenly they noticed the hairy hooves the man had and ran to hide under an iron crucifix. The demon looked at them and disappeared into the night. The next morning the shepherds went to the flock and the dogs that, strangely enough, had survived that encounter.
