Faro di Capo Santa Maria di Leuca stands majestically at the southernmost tip of Apulia, marking the point where the Ionian and Adriatic Seas meet. Built in 1864, it towers 48 meters high atop a rocky promontory, offering a breathtaking panorama of rugged coastline and crystal-clear waters. A scenic staircase leads to the adjacent sanctuary, while a short walk reveals hidden coves and stunning sea views. At dusk, the lighthouse’s beam illuminates the sea, creating an unforgettable backdrop. Visitors can climb the tower during special openings, but even from its base, the dramatic vistas are worth the trip. Take a moment to admire the meeting of two seas from this iconic vantage point.
