MORCIANO DI LEUCA
Small municipality in Salento, it also includes the beautiful village of Barbarano del Capo and the Torre Vado marina, a tourist destination renowned for its half-rocky and half-sandy coast and for the presence of very fresh fresh water springs. Morciano di Leuca boasts churches with baroque details as well as numerous underground oil mills, some of which can be visited, evidence of the thriving oil economy of the area. Furthermore, one of the towers of the suggestive military castle dating back to the 14th century and having a defensive function is still visible in Morciano. Torre Vado itself takes its name from the presence of a coastal tower, once a lookout, dating back to the 16th century.

TORRE VADO
Marina of the municipality of Morciano di Leuca, Torre Vado is appreciated for its spacious seafront and for the low coastline with small pebbles and sandy spaces, bathed by clear, clean water. Once called "the rivers", the Torre Vado Springs are local presences of fresh water, a sought-after place of shelter and refreshment in the summers. The port and the coastal tower, once a lookout, (tower which gives its name to Torre Vado) frame a small inhabited centre, especially in summer. The Tower is a piece of local history: built in the 16th century by Charles V of Habsburg to defend the territory from the Saracens, it is called "cavallara" because a messenger on horseback left there to reach the hinterland in case of danger of attack.
