Biketouring NearbyJazzo La muratella
An jazzo is a traditional limestone enclosure used for sheep farming, typical of the Apulian landscape in southern Italy (specifically the Murgia region). Historically, these structures were vital hubs for transhumance, the seasonal movement of livestock between pastures.
Built using dry-stone masonry, an jazzo usually features a large main courtyard and smaller internal compartments designed to protect the flock from predators and harsh weather. One of its most distinctive architectural elements is the paralupi—a series of protruding stone slabs along the top of the walls designed to prevent wolves from jumping inside. These structures represent a unique blend of rural functionality and sustainable architecture, perfectly integrated into the rocky Mediterranean environment.
