A climb without steep sections or a pleasant, slow and peaceful descent

Impressive and symbolic. Exciting point of arrival for many travellers, where the seas meet and where beyond there is only the sea.

A hamlet of the municipality of Tricase, in the Lecce area, Tricase Porto is located in Lower Salento and has about 250 inhabitants. Here the coast, low and rocky, is dotted with caves: in one of these there is a port dating back to the 15th century, very suggestive.

You can also stop in the car and easily climb onto the deckchair to take photos.

The Church of the Virgin Mary was built on the old foundations in the 18th century in the Baroque style. It is the sanctuary of the diocese of Ugento-Santa Maria di Leuca. On the promontory where the current church of Santa Maria de Finibus Terrae stands there was originally a pagan temple dedicated to Minerva, as evidenced by the discovery of an altar preserved inside the church. In the square in front of the church there is the Pietrina Cross, the Marian column dating from 1694, surmounted by a statue of the Madonna by Filiberto Aierbo de Aragon, and the lighthouse.

It is the second tallest lighthouse in Europe located on the edge of the square of the sanctuary of Santa Maria di Leuca.
