Torre Marchiello is a coastal tower in Salento located in Gagliano del Capo at Felloniche, in the deep south of Salento. We are just a few kilometres from Santa Maria di Leuca and Torre Marchiello is a defence and watchtower built during the 16th century to counter the continuous incursions of Saracen pirates that raged along the Salento coast in those years. Torre Marchiello, now unfortunately reduced to ruins and almost completely disappeared, communicated to the south with Torre San Gregorio and to the north with Torre dell"Omo Morto. The remains of this historical testimony stand a few kilometres from the sea on a small promontory from which one can enjoy a fascinating panorama immersed in nature and surrounded by typical Mediterranean scrub. From here you can breathe an air of absolute relaxation, with all the wild scents of the surrounding vegetation, but also the stretch of coastline in question deserves all our respect, a living tip to stop until evening to admire a wonderful sunset with an explosion of colours to remain speechless, all this represents the magic of the Salento, have a good summer at Torre Marchiello.
