Completely renovated, the B&B Comeacasa is located on the outskirts of the picturesque and delightful Borgo Antico of Palo del Colle, where the ancient streets make visitors feel as if time has stood still in a distant era. Here you will find the splendid Mother Church dedicated to the Virgin, dating back to the 14th century, an interesting example of Puglian Romanesque architecture. Navigating Palo del Colle is very easy as all the main attractions are located near the center, from which you can easily reach both the main churches and the old village.
The B&B Comeacasa is located in the Casale dei Greci neighborhood. According to popular tradition, this village was built to accommodate the Auricarrini after the destruction of their lands. In the 15th century, it was the Albanians who followed the condottiero Giorgio Castriota Scanderbegh, who arrived in southern Italy to help Ferdinand of Aragon in his fight against Giovanni d'Angiò and the rebellious barons. The number of Albanians increased when, forced to leave their homeland occupied by Muslims, they took refuge in Puglia under the generic name of Greeks.
The Casale dei Greci was built outside the first circle of walls of the town and was completely separate from Palo: it had its own walls, its own gates, and communicated with the town through a series of arches opened in the old walls. The neighborhood was bordered to the west by Via Venezia, to the south by Via Napoleone, to the east by the first stretch of Corso Garibaldi, and to the north by Via Cairoli and Via Umberto I. There were two entrances to the village: one through the Arco di Pagano on Corso Garibaldi, where the image of the Immaculate is painted; the other was Porta Costanza, at the end of what is now called Via Alfieri, where the Arco della Madonna di Costantinopoli is located.
