Farmhouse Strada Comunale De Nigris, Polignano a Mare

The Ostuni Domus real estate agency sells a majestic farmhouse with sea view in Polignano a Mare, the structure called in jargon by the local population "il catello sul monte" is entirely built in stone by local master stonemasons, the stone material is authentic dating back to 1400 AD. and the stonemasons worked the stone with the six-toothed ax and it recalls the architecture of medieval castles. The entire structure is located in the Monte Contrada Carbonelli park area, on an ancient medieval road which was the obligatory road of the county of Conversano towards the sea. On this road is the Church of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria, approximately 1 km from the town of Conversano, which has been recognized as a National monument. Very recent research and studies demonstrate that it has been ascertained that Saint Catherine of Alexandria was greatly venerated by the Knights Templar, so much so that among the most recurrent toponyms, chosen by the Knights of the Temple for the titles of the new buildings they built, there is often Saint Catherine of Alexandria. The Church represents the location where the Templars received the blessing before embarking on the sea towards the Holy Land. This was also able to be deciphered thanks to the symbolism (square, octagon, circle) that emerged thanks to recent restorations (2011) before embarking on the sea towards the Holy Land. This important testimony is demonstrated today by visits especially by tourists from Northern Europe, where there are numerous scholars of the Knights Templar and who, therefore, come to visit it. The "castle on the mountain" boasts a suggestive panorama, surrounded by hundreds of centuries-old olive trees, overlooking the sea of Polignano a Mare, which is 2 km away. Since it stands on the top of a small hill (from which it takes its name), the climate is tempered by a light breeze which gives relief to the sunny days of the Apulian summers, in the surrounding uncontaminated nature. In the imposing stone terrace there is a basement, unique in its kind, with exposed stone walls. At the center of the majestic terrace is the generously sized swimming pool, perfect for fully enjoying the splendid summer days in company and in the tranquility of your home, immersed in the beauty and magic of the area. The house is equipped with a Pugliese aqueduct.
