7 Beaches of Torre Castiglione - Porto Cesareo
Spiaggia di Torre Castiglione
Salento, Torre Castiglione - Porto Cesareo: When we speak of Torre Castiglione, we are describing one of the most beautiful and evocative stretches of coastline in the Salento. Here nature has stopped time, forming a corner of paradise made up of golden sand, high dunes mixed with Mediterranean maquis, an asymmetrical cliff that draws fascinating glimpses, native vegetation and a crystal-clear blue sea that changes colour according to the different times of day. As you walk along these places, you will feel dragged out of your holiday dimension and become one with unspoilt nature, here you can breathe in the sea, the air, the very essence of the sand and the cliffs, this is Torre Castiglione. The small beach under consideration, which is located close to what is now a ruin of the ancient 16th-century tower, lies along a small inlet, and the transparent sea in its entirety always maintains a shallow depth, so let your children play in the water in peace. The sand has small sea pebbles in places as the place is a bit of a mix of reef and beach, but this does not detract from the charm and wonder of being one of the most enchanting parts of this beautiful region called Puglia. The stretch of coastline in question is devoid of services as we are talking about a corner of nature lost in time, but if you take a little walk around the area you will occasionally find a few lidos to refresh and refresh yourself. I advise you to leave only after admiring one of the most beautiful sunsets you can ever remember... this is the magic of Torre Castiglione... this is Salento.

Torre Castiglione
Salento, Torre Castiglione - Porto Cesareo: Immersed in the Mediterranean maquis and somewhat isolated from the inhabited area, one can glimpse on the tip of a cliff what remains of Torre Castiglione. The reasons for the collapse can most probably be attributed to the karstic activity in the area; in fact, the cliff itself is full of spunnulate due to the subsidence of the ground below. The tower ruin is small and square-shaped and falls within the fief of Nardò. From the tower"s vantage point, one can see not only the beaches of Torre Castiglione but also the beautiful surrounding Mediterranean scrub. The tower served as a lookout point and was located between Torre Lapillo to the south and Torre Colimena to the north.
