The Capo Lupo Tower stands in Marina di Marittima, a hamlet of the municipality of Diso, in the province of Lecce. This tower turns out to be among the oldest coastal towers in Salento, as its construction would date back to around 1400, when it was erected as a watchtower and defense against the raids of Saracen pirates. The Capo Lupo Tower, now reduced to ruins, has a cylindrical shape divided by a conspicuous curb that marks its end. Being one of the earliest constructions compared to the rest of the coastal towers of Salento, the Capo Lupo Tower initially communicated with the marina of Castro, later Torre Diso was built to the north and Torre Porto di Ripa to the south. The Capo Lupo Tower is located on a high promontory from the view of which there is a beautiful panorama, here you can breathe an air of absolute relaxation and the surrounding nature is mixed with historical references giving rise to pleasant stimulating emotions. The Capo Lupo Tower is located within a private property and is as if swallowed up by the typical Mediterranean scrub that characterizes much of this territory. Have a good summer from Marina di Marittima.
