Numerous roadways intersect at the diurnal Torre San Giorgio, partly obliterated by the modern road cut into the rock bank.
Some of them point in the direction of the coastline, where they abruptly break off, due to the fall of the rocky bank.
A medieval rupestrian church of uncertain title, characterised by the presence next to the entrance door of a small circular opening embellished with a series of concentric grooves describing a rose window, overlooks the remains of the road. Devoid of frescoes, it was remodelled for agricultural use.
During the Middle Ages, the Via Traiana maintained its military and commercial relevance thanks to the development of a number of settlements and the emergence of new settlements, including rocky ones.
Its viability grew with the Crusades and the flow of pilgrims who crossed it in both directions on their way to Rome or Jerusalem. It thus became the most important road axis for connections between West and East.
Finally, near the Torre Diroccata, of which almost nothing remains today.
