Torre Del Serpe Salento View Stock Image

The Torre del Serpe located a few kilometers south of Otranto represents a real symbol for the city, a monument rich in history, with an undisputed charm, a place that witnesses ancient legends that sees it as an obligatory destination for a holiday in Salento made of discoveries and nature, a journey through the history of a people with deep roots and a land of a thousand resources. A sighting lighthouse of remote times, a point of reference during the period of invasions by the Saracens who attacked the coast to plunder the inland villages and stock up on food, a place constantly monitored to better control the horizon and communicate through small fires with the other towers scattered along the coast.
