La Scesciola

Minervino Murge, The Balcony of Puglia, offers a wonderful view of Puglia and Basilicata. At its foot, Saint Michael’s Cave has been capturing the hearts of believers for ages.

Minervino Murge is a small village in Alta Murgia in a very special location in terms of landscape, hence the nickname “Balcony of Puglia”. 

Its most ancient part has been historically known as “Scesciola”, meaning maze, in Arabic, because it comprises a maze of entangled roads with a typical series of tuff arches, stairs, small squares and steep flights, with the typical houses with white-washed walls holding onto the slopes of the hill.
