Description

Hypogeum oil mill - that is, dug into the rock - dated from 1400 - 1500 AD of about 500 square meters to be restored with adjoining land of over one hectare. Excellent for investment for amateurs, accommodation facility, spa area surrounded by unspoiled nature.
The underground oil mill is a rare example of industrial archeology, it was in operation until the beginning of the 20th century.
Today it is part of the typical setting of Salento surrounded by expanses of centuries-old olive trees and dry-stone walls.


As in the most recurrent structure in the hypogean mills studied, this example also shows the typical construction scheme: access to the rooms via a straight downhill covered by a barrel vault which opens into a large room, the central place of processing with the tank for the milling. Around, the other areas for storing olives, presses for pressing, for the rest of the workers who worked there.

The presence of underground oil mills has determined the development of this land and today is one of the privileged places of conservation and witness of rural civilization.

The underground oil mills are obtained from the calcarenitic rocky banks of Lecce stone, tufa or carparo, and are located beneath the road surface because this allowed an optimal conservation of the product, keeping the temperature constant.
The underground oil mills reach a walkable area that varies from around 300 to 450 meters and their average height inside varies from 1.70 to 3.50 meters.
