Overview
The itinerary in Santa Maria di Leuca begins at the Sanctuary of Saint Maria de Finibus Terrae, a building dating back to 1755 and an important pilgrimage site, set in a commanding position on the promontory and distinguished by its simple architectural lines. In the square in front, you will also find the Marian Column, topped with a statue of the Virgin Mary, and the impressive Leuca Lighthouse, which, at over 48 meters high, offers stunning views of the meeting point of the two seas; nearby stands the Monumental Waterfall of the Apulian Aqueduct, marking the symbolic end of the aqueduct. The visit continues toward the Tourist Port, the lively heart of the town, characterized by elegant boats, a scenic waterfront, and charming coastal architecture. The tour concludes with the Church of Christ the King, built in neo-Gothic style and enriched with bright stained-glass windows, followed by a stroll among refined villas featuring ornamental details, wrought-iron balconies, and gardens.
