Torre Specchia Ruggeri

Torre Specchia Ruggeri - Melendugno

In the municipality of Melendugno, in the town of the same name, Torre Specchia Ruggeri stands this beautiful example of a 16th-century tower that towers just a few meters from the sea and with a height of about 5 meters. Torre Specchia Ruggeri is part of that complex system of watchtowers erected during the 16th century to defend the entire coast of Salento from the continuous incursions of Saracen pirates; the tower communicated to the south with Torre San Foca while to the north with Torre San Cataldo the latter completely disappeared. Today Torre Specchia Ruggeri appears in a state of complete abandonment and from its current shape are visible signs of some structural changes that the tower has undergone over time. From the top of this striking promontory there is a wonderful panorama and the whole stretch of coastline in question retains that unspoiled appearance; Torre Specchia Ruggeri is easily reached by driving along that stretch of coastline from San Cataldo to San Foca.
