We are in Lower Salento, along a beautiful stretch of coast bathed by the waters of the Ionian Sea, and this 16th-century tower soars 50 meters above the sea at an elevation of about 16 meters. Torre Sinfonò is part of the complex system of watchtowers erected during the 16th century to cope with the continuous raids of the Turkish pirates that raged the coasts of Salento in those years. The tower communicated to the south with Torre San Giovanni while to the north with Torre Suda; today only the second floor remains of Torre Sinfonò and it is located within private property. Torre Sinfonò has a circular base and what remains is the escarpment plinth that ends with the upper curb for a diameter of about 11 meters.

La Pilella

We are in Capilungo a marina that is part of the municipality of Alliste, in the province of Lecce, and the whole surrounding area presents itself to our eyes with the typical colors of the territory; from the green of the Mediterranean scrub to the brown of the rocky coast to a blue embrace with the beautiful crystal clear sea present at la Pilella. There is a tranquil air here, the area is ideal for those seeking relaxation and intending to spend a relaxing day at the beach; few or completely absent organized lidos, only stretches of low cliffs and a sea that lends itself wonderfully to those who enjoy snorkeling or even a healthy, rejuvenating swim. Spotting an inviting reef will not be difficult once you arrive at the Pilella, and then spread out your towel open your favorite magazine and relax under the warm Salento sun for a perfect tan to make your colleagues envious once you return to work. Scent of real vacation and pleasant sensations from an inviting glimpse of Puglia, many greetings from Capilungo.
