Terra di Corte hypogea
The hypogea of Terra di Corte ( Italian ipogei Terra Di Corte ) emerged at the beginning of the middle Bronze Age (about 1700 years BC. Chr.) On an area of 5000 square meters, north of San Ferdinando di Puglia in the Basso Tavoliere in Apulia in Italy by the Daunier people or their indigenous forerunners who founded many similar hypogea (Ipogeo degli Ottavi, Ipogeo dei Volumni, Hypogea of Trinitapoli ).
The differences can be found in the dimensions and in various details that can be traced back to the surrounding terrain and cultural changes during the long construction period. The entrance is formed by a dromos carved into the bedrock , a narrow ramp, open at the top, the length of which corresponds to the dimensions of the main room and the possibilities of the building site; at the Ipogei Terra di Corte it was curved. At the Ipogeo degli Avori the entrance had been carefully sealed with stones after there was no more room for funerals.
