Between Santa Cesarea Terme and Porto Badisco in the locality of Terrarossa here rises Torre Minervino an enchanting place far from the daily schemes, from the confusion of the cities, it"s just you and nature, a place where it is pleasant to get lost in search of strong emotions and pleasant sensations that only a landscape of this beauty can give us. Torre Minervino is part of that complex system of watchtowers erected all along the Salento coast during the 16th century following the constant raids of Saracen pirates. The tower communicated to the south with the Tower of Porto Badisco while to the north it communicated with Torre Specchia di Guardia, and Torre Minervino"s position was crucial in that its post could glimpse the horizon as far as Punta Palascia the easternmost part of Italy. In its appearance the Minervino Tower has a conical structure with a small curb to mark its end, from the light color of the ashlars it appears to have been recently restored; beyond the architectural aspect, this place really offers an evocative meeting point between the beauty of the surrounding landscape and historical references that mark a land of a thousand stories, from here we can breathe an air of relaxation and peace with ourselves, sensing the scents of nature that surrounds us and admiring a panorama of absolute amazement will fully repay the decision to have stopped even for a moment to contemplate the beauty of this tower. Vibrant feelings and longing for a vacation from Torre Minervino...have a good summer.
