Holiday apartment in Lamie di Olimpia: festivals, Piazza Jazzile and cured meats

Lamie di Olimpia offers points of interest related to religious devotion, local festivals, historical traditions and regional specialities. Piazza Jazzile, the church, festivals and Salumi D’Olimpia each provide different thematic focuses for planning a trip, without reducing the place to a single aspect.

Orientation and townscape

To reach Le Lamie di Olimpe, follow the SS 172 dei Trulli state road between Locorotondo and Fasano. Approximately halfway along, turn onto the SP 216 provincial road towards Cisternino. After about 2 kilometres on the SP 216, you reach the large Piazza Jazzile. When travelling to Le Lamie di Olimpe, the change from the SS 172 to the SP 216 marks a distinct orientation point on site.

The square covers approximately 5,000 square metres and is surrounded by stone houses, trulli and lamie. A lamie or casina is a summer residence surrounded by dry-stone walls in the midst of nature. As a result, the traditional building forms have an immediately recognisable significance in the townscape and give the stay a specific cultural connection.

Festivals and historical references

The Festa Parrocchiale Lamie di Olimpia was scheduled for 1 and 2 August 2026 in C.da Lamie di Olimpia. Since 1989, the Festa della Santa Famiglia has included a competition. La Galvalcata is a historical re-enactment of the “du Jartidde” tournament (rooster). These different festival references make the local traditions accessible from several perspectives.

Church and memorial site

The Holy Family is venerated in the church. There are also statues of Saint Anthony of Padua, Our Lady of Sorrows, the Santi Medici, Madonna del Pozzo and the Immaculate Virgin Mary. A war memorial erected in 1929 stands in the centre of the square. Engraved on the memorial are the names of the soldiers then living in the area who died in the First World War. The war memorial complements the religious depictions with a historical connection to the area.

Local flavour and personal choice

Lamie di Olimpia is also a specific culinary destination. Salumi D’Olimpia are produced and slowly matured; visitors can taste Salumi di Olimpia in the producer’s tasting room. The slow maturation process and the producer’s tasting room make Salumi D’Olimpia a distinct culinary theme of the place.
