In fact, the town of Grottaglie, whose meaning is several caves , stands on a hill of clayey origin; Its caves and natural cavities already present in the Paleolithic and originally inhabited by Byzantine and Jewish monks were a refuge in the year 1000 for them who started the first commercial activities there; these natural cavities with ovens and laboratories are still present along the ravine. Preserved and conserved over time, they have given life to a real neighborhood of shops, the so-called ceramics neighborhood where master craftsmen work and sell their unique works, contributing to the economy of the town recognized among the 28 in Italy and protected by the trademark DOC for ceramic production. In this spectacular historical and cultural context, this property represents a safe investment in a magical place full of history. A Coldwell Banker Brindisi exclusive.
