Description

The crypt is located in the district of Manfio on a small hill, on the road that from Ruffano leads to Casarano. Though under the diocese of the Mother Church of Ruffano, it has always been considered part of the city of Casarano because of its proximity to the latter.


Surrounded by the typical olive trees of Salento the original natural cave has two galleries, one shorter where the altar stands and still used today for celebrations and one longer but completely bare.


The few frescoes, in poor condition due to moisture, date back to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and represent the Crucified Christ with St. John the Apostle and Our Lady of Sorrows and that of St. Constantine.
