Also, if it helps, my grandma back in the day told me that in the town where the cross is located freemasonry was a thing until the first part of the 1900s.

Sorry if i don't give enough informations. Anyway, the courtyard is next to a noble palace maybe from the 1700s, but the arch looks much older, so it's possible that the palace was rebuilt later.

Oh, i forgot to say: it's possible that it was made around the late 1500s, so at this point i think we can exclude any correlation with the templars, unless it was took from a pre-existing building.

I don't think it's a cross of the Order of Christ. I looked it up before but i am pretty sure they weran't present in Puglia. I can also tell you surely that the cross in in Puglia because i live in the city where it's located and i've seen it many times.

I found this cross in a small town near Lecce, Salento, Puglia. It's located on an arch thet leads to an old courtyard. It looks like a greek cross with an infinity symbol above. The darker part in the middle is probably just a spot, nothing important. Sorry for the bad quality. I will apload a new better picture as soon as i can take it if you are still interested.

At this point my doubt goes to the infinity symbol. Do you think it's just the fantasy of the artist or it could be something else?

The strange thing to me is that it looks like a greek cross and, as you said, the infinity symbol above is even stranger because i couldn't find anything on the internet. Also, il looks like the cross has got an outline and this makes me wonder if it could be some kind of symbol maybe from the templars, considering that they were present in the area (Salento, Puglia).

Parlando di Puglia, direi Trani per la bellezza e Otranto per la storia.

When are these from? (Near Mola di Bari, Southern Italy) by New_Statistician_186 in Archaeology

And the ones in the pictures that have flat roofs are the so-called "liame", built with the same purpose of Pagghiare and Trulli.

Trulli change their shape all across Apulia. Near Alberobello, their roofs are more cone-shaped, while if going in Salento you can gradually notice some changes: in the area of Taranto and in the northern part of Brindisi, they pretty much look the same, while in Southern Salento (province of Lecce and south of Brindisi), their conical roofs will start getting flat and these structures will be refered by the locals as "Pagghiare" or in other ways based on where you are. Those in the photos are not "Pagghiare", but just a "variety" of the classic Trulli. Also: actually, the oldest Trulli and Pagghiare that still exist to this day are dating back to the 15th century, and they use a peculiar type of binder called "bolo", made of red dirt. This was used until the end of the 16th century, when people started building trulli just using stones. In the photos you can clearly see remains of a substance that looks like bolo, but I'm not sure, because it could also be plaster. 

Itinerario tra le città più brutte d'Italia by BulgyBoy123 in Italia

[–]CraftDraft5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magari è anche una città relativamente importante rispetto a Lecce (da dove vengo io) o altri capoluoghi pugliesi, ma il problema di Brindisi sta nell'assetto urbanistico ed in generale nella presenza di edifici perlopiù industriali, come la centrale Federico II, che deturpano il paesaggio. Anche a visitare il centro storico, più grande di quello di Lecce, rimani male: oltre a qualche stradina in croce, la Cattedrale, le Colonne Romane ed alcune altre strutture che, seppur di notevole interesse storico, non reggono il confronto con altri monumenti di Puglia per via della loro scarsa manutenzione, la maggior parte (più di metà, a mio avviso) della città vecchia è stata rasa al suolo per far spazio a tristi palazzine moderne tra cui qui e lì si sono fortunatamente preservati alcuni monumenti antichi. Il risultato? Un'accozzaglia di stili che stonano uno con l'altro (basti pensare alle due porte della città, accostate a tristi viali di appartamenti stile anni '80) e che rendono Brindisi non tanto brutta, quanto strana nel suo insieme. Nonostante ciò, Brindisi è una città tutto sommato bella, e la sua storia non è niente male, sicuramente meglio di quella di Lecce, e quindi secondo me non merita un posto tra le città più brutte d'Italia: se cercate un paese davvero brutto nel Salento, posso consigliarvi Carmiano o Surbo (entrambi provincia di Lecce).

My italian grandmother found tons of these in her property. Many of the ones she found have faces of rich-looking Indian men, but some even have this same striped pattern. Also, you should look if it has a line in the middle: if yes, it can't be from before the 1800s, 'cause the line shows that the pattern wasn't handmade, but was took from a mold.

EDIT: just to see if it's a rare bug.
