But we must underline also the friendliness of the inhabitants and the \u201cinnocent beauty\u201d of the country side, lying between gigantic and majestic millenarian olive trees.\r\n\r\nGiurdignano represents the elective area for mysterious megalithic monuments and rocky caves: in its downtown one can admire the three-nave S. Salvatore crypt. In the proximity of the village several menhirs has been discovered and well restored: (Palanzano\u2019s, Monte Tangolo, San Paolo, Vicinanze I, Vicinanze II, Madonna di Costantinopoli, Fausa, San Vincenzo) as well as some beautiful dolmens (Orfine, Peschio, Chiancuse, Cauda, Grassi, Sferracavalli).\r\n\r\nIn the surrounding areas, one can stili admire the Centoporte early Christian church. Legend says it was originally an winter Headquarter for Otranto soldiers.\r\nOn the road to Uggiano, one can wonder on the early Middle Ages San Salvatore church, with some frescos in the centrai apses.\r\n\r\nConsecutively, two families moved to this area contributing to the demographic growth: Vicinanza\u2019s and Palanzano\u2019s. Among Giurdignano\u2019s feudatories are Alfarano Capece &#8211; an illustrious family of Greek origins, descending from Alano Signore d\u2019Epiro. Before the XVII century Giurdignano\u2019s Patron was Madonna del Tuono (The Lady of Thunder). Then &#8211; between the end of eighteenth and the beginning of nineteenth century it was switched to Saint Rocco who protected the village from the plague.\r\n\r\nThey said that over two centuries ago a Venetian Boat whose crew had been afflicted by a mysterious infernal disease passed through the Otranto channel. The Captain invoked S.Rocco\u2019s help. Once cured and saved, as an offering for the Saint\u2019s cruciai help, he decided to raise a statue in his honour in the first village he would have encountered. Once in Giurdignano, he gave the village a wonderful statue fulfilling his promise. Saint Rocco\u2019s solemn Day is August the 16th.\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nostrasignoradeiturchi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/DoveSiamo.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-347 size-medium\" title=\"Dove Siamo\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nostrasignoradeiturchi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/DoveSiamo-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"Dettaglio Esterno B&amp;B Nostra Signora dei Turchi\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" \/><\/a>\r\n<h2>How to reach us<\/h2>\r\n<strong><em>Nostra Signora dei Turchi\r\n<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Via Madonna del Rosario, 873020 Giurdignano (LE)<\/em><\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Phone<\/strong> +39 0836 81 31 00<\/li>\r\n\t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Mobile<\/strong><\/span> +39 340 38 87 125<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>E-mail<\/strong>: <a title=\"Scrivici!\" href=\"mailto:nst@email.it\">nst@email.it <\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>By car:<\/strong> Follow the A1-E55 highway (Bologna-Taranto) and take the North Bari exit.
