Masseria San Pietro

Just a few steps from the Mar Piccolo, Masseria San Pietro in Taranto is a grand architectural complex characterized by the aggregation of multiple buildings dating from different eras.\n\nThe three main buildings are the **manor house**, the rooms used as housing for the tenant farmers, and the **medieval church**, while two internal courtyards connect the different areas.\n\nClosing the southern side of the structure in perspective is the **Basilica of Saints Peter and Andrew**, probably built between the 10th and 12th centuries, a building whose subsoil contains galleries attributable to Roman hydraulic works.\n\nNot far from the complex, you can admire a small tower, a portico used as a sheepfold, and a large **underground oil mill**, as well as the discovery of artifacts from a Roman villa and a medieval necropolis.\n\nCurrently, the masseria is used as a hospitality structure.
