Jazzo 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.

Jazzo Santa Monnara di sopra

A jazzo is an ancient and characteristic dry-stone structure typical of the Puglia region of southern Italy, used for shelter, even temporarily, of livestock (especially sheep) during the transhumance along the sheep tracks. It consists of large enclosures with dividing walls, stables (lamioni), milking areas (mungitori), and often dwellings for the shepherds. They were designed to be functional and durable, with features such as stone wolf guards to protect against predators.

The rocks were slippery when wet, sharp if you fell on them, so as a sensible person, you watched your feet and kept them at a distance from treacherous places.

You didn't have to be right in the middle of it to feel as if you were.
