Selva Di Fasano: Trullo-Shaped Church, Gravina and Mediterranean Macchia

Character between Macchia and Architectural Heritage

Selva di Fasano lies in a hilly region with Mediterranean macchia of exceptional biological diversity. This landscape gives the town a clear connection with nature, while the Chiesa Trullo del Signore adds a distinctive cultural accent: the characteristic trullo-shaped church is located on Via Toledo in Selva di Fasano. For your travel planning, this makes it a place where the landscape and architectural form can be considered as distinct focal points of the experience.

The Minareto also draws attention to the surrounding area. The terraces of the Minareto offer views over the Valle d'Itria. In this way, the landscape complements the individual sights with a broad perspective and, alongside visits to local attractions, gives your stay an additional connection to the hilly landscape.

Routes to Gravina di San Donato

A particularly clearly defined destination for exploring on foot is Gravina di San Donato. The footpath begins at the junction of Viale San Donato and Strada Comunale Giritore in Selva di Fasano. Gravina di San Donato can be reached from Selva di Fasano via an approximately 400-metre-long footpath. The route includes the rock church Chiesa rupestre di S. Donato as a point of interest. This means the walk can be included in your daily itinerary as a separate activity between natural surroundings and a cultural monument.
