Basilica and Sanctuary of Santa Maria de Finibus Terrae

Highlight • Religious Site

The name Santa Maria di Leuca derives from the Greek "leukós" or white, this perhaps due to the color of the rocks, or for the houses painted with lime, or for the fact that, arriving from Greece with the sun of dawn behind shoreline was illuminated with a clear light. Although there is no certain information on the origins of this town, some archaeological finds confirm the presence of settlements dating back to the Bronze Age. Even Santa Maria di Leuca, like other places on the Salento coast, has been indicated as the place where Aeneas landed fleeing from Troy while, according to Christian tradition, it was precisely here that the apostle Peter arrived from Palestine during his journey to Rome. The territory of Santa Maria di Leuca includes Punta Meliso which conventionally separates the Adriatic Sea from the Ionian Sea.

Santa Maria di Leuca Lighthouse and Monumental Staircase

Highlight • Monument

The Santa Maria di Leuca lighthouse stands shining on Punta Meliso. Activated for the first time on 6 September 1866, it emits three beams of light which, in particular meteorological conditions, are visible from over 40 km. With a spiral staircase of 254 steps you can climb to the cage of the projection apparatus.
In 1937 the lighthouse's power supply, which until then had been oil-based, was transformed to electricity. The original lantern was built in Paris and replaced several times (1941 and 1954) together with the rotary apparatus.

Lido Marini

Beach

48.6 km

Lido Marini Basin, Regional Coastal Natural Park of Ugento

Highlight • Lake

From the dialectal name "Spunderati", belonging to the network of the Marina di Ugento basins, the latter connected by canals around the coastal strip between the marinas of Lido Marini, Torre Mozza and Torre San Giovanni. Near the area there is vegetation typical of marshy and brackish environments, as well as sedentary and migratory fauna (mallards, teals, gray herons).
The cycling links created are beautiful and very wide and safe.
