Reopened on April 24, 2024, after renovations and refurbishments. There are now separate pedestrian lanes alongside the road. In the evening, the bridge is illuminated with rainbow colors—haha, just kidding 😅—thankfully, they're the colors of the Italian flag 🇮🇹.

The Ciolo bridge is the perfect destination for those who love diving from great heights. The bridge connects the canyon and below is a beach. 40 meters high, there is a breathtaking panorama occasionally interrupted by the "splash" of those who dive. Near the bridge there are many caves including the Ciolo cave. The name “Ciolo” derives from the Salento word “Ciole”, to indicate the numerous magpies that nested along the coast.

The panorama from here is truly breathtaking, on one side it opens up to the Ionian towards Calabria on the other you look at the bay of Santa Maria di Leuca, the imposing lighthouse and the Adriatic Sea. It is said that this is where the two seas meet. The rocks of this promontory hide two secrets: an imposing natural cave, called Grotta del Diavolo, and an underground bunker or casemate with a very special charm.

The name Ciolo derives from the Salento word "Giolo" or thieving magpie, this is because the area is rich in nests of this species. The beautiful cove is cut by the homonymous bridge which stands 40 meters high. Over the years the bridge has been a destination for intrepid divers but, given the danger, this practice has recently been banned. You can still enjoy the sea by accessing it from the cove below and, for those who do not want to give up a bit of adventure, dive from the surrounding rocks.

Reaching the caves is simple: at a certain point on the path you will find yourself at an intersection, where a sign indicates the narrow branches that deviate from the main path to reach the first cave. The path to get to the caves is steep and downhill, so it is better to lean on the wooden protections that accompany the path. At this point you will reach the entrance to the caves: huge and incredible natural cavities, made of friable and porous stone, which contain a piece of human history inside. In fact, there are many traces left by our ancestors, including pebbles with particular engravings and with an unknown meaning.

It is a country route that starts right from the rocks overlooking the Ciolo, a town famous for the bridge of the same name. In the stretch that surrounds the path, three of these caves are called 'Cipolliane Caves', the cavities created in the friable and porous stone of the area can be reached via narrow branches that wind from the main path.
