모르시아노 디 루카‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪16‬개의 천연기념물

Difficult to drive partly due to the soft sand.

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 🇮🇹.

...was closed in June 2023

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.

August 2023 unfortunately currently closed due to construction work.

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.

Be careful when going down. the purple clay is very slippery in places!

Beautiful spot. I think it is also the starting point for a nice walk.
