Torre Marchiello is a coastal tower of Salento that is located in Gagliano del Capo in Felloniche, in the deep south of Salento. We are just a few kilometers from Santa Maria di Leuca and Torre Marchiello represents a defense and watchtower built during the 16th century to counter the continuous incursions of Saracen pirates who raged the Salento coasts in those years. Torre Marchiello, today 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 kilometers from the sea on a small promontory from which you can enjoy a fascinating panorama immersed in nature and surrounded by the 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 advice to stop until evening to admire a wonderful sunset with an explosion of colors to remain speechless, all this represents the magic of Salento, have a good summer from Torre Marchiello.
