Torre del Sasso, located on the crest of the Serra del Mito at 116 meters above sea level, was part of a system of towers built along the entire coast of Salento, equipped with cannons, in sight of each other; so that, in case of raids by the Turks or pirates, the populations inside could be properly warned. The tower, whose existence is ascertained in 1584, is partially destroyed. To protect it, the various local associations are continually seeking support for the administrations for recovery.
