Ups & Backs
Golden hour in Salento.
My panoramic, taken before the twilight on the cliffs overlooking a spectacular purest sea at Roca Li Posti, (Puglia, Italia),
close to the popular Grotta "La Poesia". True colors.
I will publish the amazing most beautiful Grotto of Poetry with its inside blue waters pool in the future.
To the far right: some ruins of the castle overlooking the sea, the sixteenth-century watchtower, (Rocca in Italian or Roca in the local idiom).
Close by, there is a large area with Archaeological excavations on a sort of high esplanade overlooking the sea, up on top of the rocky cliffs, that is visitable with a cheap entrance ticket, at some hours also accompanied by a local guide.
The entire land along the coast is very panoramic and impressive. The village was built around 1480.
The importance of Roca Li Posti (also called Roca Vecchia), in Archeology is linked to the discovery made in 1983 of inscriptions mostly in Messapian (but also in Greek and Latin) on the rocky walls, from which is confirmed that a cave was once a place of worship of the god Taotor (or even Tator, Teotor or Tootor).
To the left on my photo are visible some caves that in ancient times were manually excavated and used by the ancient Tribe of the Messapians to be inhabited and for their religious rituals.
