    The Santa Maria di Leuca lighthouse stands shining on Punta Meliso. Activated for the first time on 6 September 1866, it emits three beams of light which, in particular meteorological conditions, are visible from over 40 km. With a spiral staircase of 254 steps you can climb to the cage of the projection apparatus.
    In 1937 the lighthouse's power supply, which until then had been oil-based, was transformed to electricity. The original lantern was built in Paris and replaced several times (1941 and 1954) together with the rotary apparatus.

    A fantastic place that must be visited absolutely, you can clearly see the union of the currents between the Adriatic and the Ionian sea ... 🤩
