Title

Masseria e Jazzo Pietretagliate

The complex, of the XV-XVI century, partially preserved, owes its name to the erosion of the calcareous rocks (cut off from the water). It consists of typical structures of the jazzo: fences, milkhouse, sheepfold, paralupi, lamione, swimming pool, cistern and a casone, more recent, used as a shelter for shepherds.
