Torre dell'Alto (Torre Santa Maria dell'Alto라고도 함)는 16세기에 지어진 역사적인 해안 경비 초소입니다. 이 초소는 산타 카테리나 지역의 이오니아 해 바로 위에 있는 50미터 높이의 절벽 위에 자리 잡고 있습니다. 또한 포르토 셀바조 지역 자연 공원의 그림 같은 입구를 표시합니다. 이 초소는 1569년 펠리페 2세(카를 5세의 아들) 통치 하에 완공되었습니다. 살렌토 해안에 대한 오스만과 사라센의 침입에 맞서는 대규모 방어 시스템의 일부였습니다. 이 구조물은 현지 건축가 안젤로 스팔레타가 설계했습니다. 높이 14미터의 정사각형 초소는 북쪽의 토레 울루초와 남쪽의 더 작은 토레 산타 카테리나와 같은 이웃 초소들과 지속적인 시야를 유지했습니다. 벽돌 아치를 통해 높은 입구로 이어지는 독특한 외부 계단은 오늘날까지 매우 잘 보존되어 있습니다.

Saint Stephen, the patron saint of this church in Soleto, is one of the first seven deacons of the original Jerusalem church and the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church commemorates him on Boxing Day, December 26th. When Stephen recounted his vision of the open heavens: "But he, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Acts 7:55), the people were so outraged that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.

The patronage of this shrine, dedicated to the Madonna, refers to the town of Loreto. This is one of the great and important Marian pilgrimage sites in Europe, along with Lourdes in the French Pyrenees and Fatima in Portugal. Unlike the other two places mentioned, however, Loreto is not known for apparitions of the Mother of God. Here, pilgrims can find something very tangible: Mary's childhood home in Nazareth (Israel). Her parents—not mentioned by name in the biblical writings of the New Testament—are mentioned in apocryphal traditions: Saint Anne and Saint Joachim are thus the grandparents of Jesus Christ (their common feast day in the calendar of saints is July 26). Crusaders likely dismantled the venerated building in Nazareth and brought it to Europe when the era of the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land came to an end towards the end of the 13th century. But this very sober assumption is countered by a much more interesting legend: According to this, four angels carried out the translation and flew the house over the Mediterranean.

A beautiful castle with a suggestive façade adorned with numerous statues. Inside the very interesting exhibition of Giuseppe Palumbo, the photographer on a bicycle who documented Salento between 1907 and 1959 and in the various rooms an exhibition path with original images, articles and studies dedicated to the phenomenon of tarantism. A short distance away in the enchanting historic center of Corigliano d'Otranto is the church of San Nicola Vescovo with a valuable mosaic depicting the tree of life.

A very popular summer tourist destination and prohibitive to reach in the summer period given the high influx of bathers, it is however a wonderful bay to visit in the low season, when the crystal clear water and the silence of nature takes over.

One of the most representative Spunnulate of the marsh. Example of how the water emerging from the subsoil indicates the presence of abundant fresh water in the Salento subsoil but also the difficulty of accessing it. Destination of migratory avifauna. Wonderful. It is a protected place and (for obvious reasons) bathing is absolutely prohibited.
