Castrignano-del-capo, Information and images

  • The city of Santa Maria di Leuca is located at the southernmost point of the ´boot heel´ of Italy.. Their name derives from the Greek ´leukos´ for white, probably created by the white rocks on the sea.. <9> <9> <994/1147255> <994/1147256> <994/1147257> <9> <9> Much more romantic, however, is this legend of their origins. <9> <9> The siren Leucasia swore revenge.. She had fallen in love with a young man named Melisso, but he was willing to associate with his young lover Aristula, and he remained unresponsive to courting the beautiful mermaid.. So she called the sea gods Poseidon and Aiolos, who conjured a storm with high waves, in which the couple was killed.. When the sea calmed down again, the corpses were found: Aristula on a promontory in the east and Melisso in the west.. Between these two points, Punta Ristola and Punta Mèliso, is nowadays Santa Maria di Leuca.. <9> <9> <9> <994/10634> <994/10633> <994/10632> <9> <9> On the Cape in front of Santa Maria runs the imaginary border between the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea to recognize as white line believes.. In fact, this foam line is created by the collision of the currents of both seas, causing the sea in this region is often restless.. <9> <9> Beautifully situated on a hill high above the harbor, the pilgrimage church of Santa Maria De Finibus Terrae with the lighthouse <9> <9> visible far and wide The harbor is an attractive destination for many tourists and popular with water sports (especially for lack of alternatives in The region also starts from here excursion boats to some caves, such as the Devil´s Grotto at Punta Ristola with at least 40m in length.. <9> Or to the Grotta del Fiume, the Grotta delle Tre Porte, the Grott dei Giganti etc. <9> Just ask in the harbor.. <9> <9> <994/10629> <994/10631> <994/10622> <9> <994/1111738> <994/1147258> <994/10627> <9> <9> Santa Maria is well worth a visit , also due to the many partly oriental-looking holiday villas rich Italians, emerged in better times.. <9> The ravages of time gnaw here, too, but they´re nice to look at.. <9> <9> In summer, the bathing beach attracts, in winter, friends of wild natural spectacles get their money´s worth, because around the Cape of Santa Maria, the sea often rages.. <9>
