SANTA MARIA DI LEUCA
At the end of Puglia and Italy lies Santa Maria di Leuca. The promontory of Leuca has very ancient origins. In fact, research has shown that this territory was inhabited by Neanderthal man. Traces of his passage have been discovered in the caves of the Devil and the Giant. In Santa Maria di Leuca, there was a Bronze and Iron Age village located in the area of the present Sanctuary. Long before a pagan temple dedicated to the goddess Athena was built, about which the historian Strabo also wrote. The temple, in fact, was visible to seafarers even from kilometres away and aroused a certain amount of fear. According to others, however, the pagan temple was the coastal sanctuary of Grotta Porcinara, still present in Leuca, but protected by a grille forbidding entry. Leuca is also well known for the 48.6 metre lighthouse of Santa Maria di Leuca. Located 102 metres above sea level on the promontory of Punta Meliso, it is the second highest lighthouse in Italy. Its light, in favourable weather conditions, is visible even beyond 40 kilometres.
