Grotta delle Pupe

Grotta delle Pupe

A sea cave in Rada della Caréula north of Otranto: clear water, rock and a striking natural pool, but today it lies within a private beach setting, so it should not be treated as an ordinary free-access cove.

 Torre Santo Stefano

Torre Santo Stefano

Torre Santo Stefano is an early-modern coastal tower now reduced to ruins north of Otranto. CartaPulia records severe damage and private tenure; historical research notes wartime damage and final collapse in the late 20th century. Viewing should therefore remain external and respect property boundaries and fences.
