The sanctuary of Sant'Antonio alla Macchia is a small church dedicated to Sant'Antonio da Padova which is located near San Pancrazio Salentino, in a green area surrounded by a pine forest. It was built in 1867 by a peasant couple as a sign of gratitude to the saint for a miracle received. It is also possible to visit a Basilian crypt dug into the rock where traces of frescoes and engravings of the Byzantine monks who took refuge there between the 6th and 13th centuries are preserved.
