Never seen anything like this. In 2004, archaeologists discovered in Charles V's castle at Lecce a series of wall-art and inscriptions. These carvings were made by prisoners, using rocks or even their manacles. Just here you can see St George and the dragon, a heraldic shield or the mast of the ship
