Golden beaches at its feet. The cycling route of La Ciclonica now passes through here.

Difficult to drive partly due to the soft sand.

Definitely worth a photo!

THE MONUMENTAL CROSS: It represents the symbolic monument of the Madonna's pain, which in this case is represented precisely by the cross that pierced and made the mother's heart bleed for the excruciating death of her son. The idea symbolized in the aforementioned cross is the one enclosed in the words that the holy old Simeon addressed to Mary: "This is set to ruin and resurrect many in Israel, and one day a sword will pierce your soul too".

“The church of the Madonna del Casale in fact, according to legend, is one of the three churches wanted by a sailor who survived a storm through the intercession of the Madonna Maria Stella del Mare. This story is shared with two other churches that arise near Ugento, namely the church dedicated to the Madonna dell'Alto Mare (in Felline) and the one dedicated to the Madonna della Campana (in Casarano), with which the Casale hermitage shares public holiday and traditions (the Sunday after Easter)."

Nice gravel section between sea and lake. Lots of joggers and swimmers

On a hill between Ugento and its Torre San Giovanni hamlet, this simple church surrounded by greenery is dedicated to Santa Maria del Casale. Very small, surrounded by trees and in a really quiet place, it gives an immediate feeling of peace.

Church with a beautiful view of the surrounding towns and the sea.
