Very well preserved

Overlooking the beautiful coast of Porto Selvaggio, it is one of the most beautiful views on the Salento coast. Part of the Ciclonica Circuit https://cicloturismo.puglia.it/ciclovia-salento-ionico/.

Torre dell'Alto can be reached either from the Sp 286 by taking the entrance to Portoselvaggio di Villa Tafuri and immediately turning left. After 300 meters of white road and crossing the puneta you will reach the tower. Or from the seafront of Santa Caterina reaching the last roundabout. From here you go up on mostly trekking routes suitable for expert bikers. This last route is currently closed due to the road being closed due to the risk of landslides

splendid view of the Portoselvaggio bay

Very scenic crossing point

Nice example of the remains of the tower of Santa Maria al Bagno

Suggestive seaside village of Nardò, awarded the Gold Medal of Civil Merit for having hosted a reception camp for Jewish refugees ( https://www.santamariaalbagno.info/25-aprile-nardo-medaglia-doro-al-merito- civili/ ), It has a beautiful little beach with golden sand protected from the sirocco wind

The feudal system created these Towers to fortify the south-western borders most exposed to attacks from the Turks and North African corsairs. In the early 2000s it was transformed and today it hosts ceremonies and banquets
