      The Zollino Pozzelle and the Pyrrhus Elephants

      21 November 2022

      Among the most interesting monuments of Grecìa Salentina and more generally of the entire Salento, the area of ​​the pozzelle of Zollino stands out.

      In the area today 46 pozzelle are visible, built according to the technique of stone furnieddhi (or trulli salentini). They are dug into the clayey ground and are covered with stones that jut up to the top, ending on the surface with a square or sometimes circular ring.

      A legend links this area to the passage of Zollino di Pirro, king of Epirus, who, on his way to Taranto to fight the Romans, had his elephants quench their thirst here.

      The oldest archaeological materials found in Zollino date back to the 14th century, but this does not mean that in an even more remote past in the valley that became the area of ​​the pozzelle there was a sort of lake used by the Messapian and then Roman populations. This hypothesis would confirm the legend of Pyrrhus, which has impressed itself on the imagination of Zollino as an authentic historical fact.
