Torre San Foca stands in the tourist resort of the same name in the municipality of Melendugno, in the province of Lecce. This beautiful example of a 16th-century tower, now fully restored and the current headquarters of the Harbour Master"s Office, is part of the complex defence and watchtower system erected during the 16th century along the entire coast of Salento to deal with the continuous incursions of Saracen pirates who raged along the coast in those years. Torre San Foca communicated to the south with Torre Roca Vecchia and to the north with Torre Specchia Ruggeri; the tower rises 15 metres from the sea and has a truncated pyramid structure divided into two superimposed floors. Today Torre San Foca can be admired in all its beauty while strolling along the San Foca marina, so while we enjoy an ice cream to cool the summer heat let"s also take a look at this marvellous historical testimony. Have a good summer.
