Marina di Salve beach

Salve is a town of about 5000 inhabitants in the province of Lecce. Located in the stretch of the Ionian Sea, about 61 km from the provincial capital, it includes the hamlet of Ruggiano, Pecoluse, Torre Pali, Posto Vecchio and Lido Marini. From 2009, Salve became a blue flag with official recognition of the FEE; this milestone has been reconfirmed over the years thanks to the quality of the sea and beaches. The 4 Sails of Legambiente must be added to this environmental quality recognition. Today Salve is recognized as an established tourist destination and especially as a seaside destination; in fact, there are many places that offer a sea breathtaking and beaches with thin and very white sand. A stone's throw from the town of Salento we find, in fact, Santa Maria di Leuca, Torre Vado, Torre Pali and Marina di Pescoluse where is the beautiful beach known as 'the Maldives of Salento'. This resort is famous for the peculiarity of its wonderfully exotic beaches characterized by white sand and sea. crystal clear. It is the natural wonders of this area that make every holiday special. If you would like to stroll in a nature reserve, it is advisable to visit the Nature Park< ; /em> regional Island of S.Andrea and Punta Pizzo coast (not far from Salve) which is a protected area located in the municipality of Gallipoli characterized by cliffs and cobblestone ravines on the sea, up to the tonal change of the adjacent hinterland where you can benefit from a reserve from the maritime flora with filirea, myrtle and lentiscus. From the park you can also see the beautiful Island of Sant'Andrea with its lighthouse still in activity. The historical beauty of this Salento center does not end here, in fact, you can spend a day in the territory archaeological site at Masseria del Fano (this is the Messapian village of Chiusa, currently under archaeological supervision) Australian, dating back to the period between 1440 BC and 470 BC) or go to the ProtoApennine Village of Spigolizzi ( located in the Spigolizzi and Profichi farms, dating back to the Middle Bronze period, XVI-XV century.). In the fifteenth century, during the period of Spanish domination, the coastal towers were built and in Salve there is one of these towers, the Torre Pali dating back to 1563. This architectural construction is located about 13 km west from the town of Santa Maria di Leuca. A presence not to be underestimated is also given a series of religious constructions that are the destination of many tourists. Among these are the Mother Church of Saint Nicholas the Great, the Church of Saint Anthony of Padua and the Church of Santu Lasi (San Biagio). Specifically, the Mother Church of San Nicola Magno dates back, in the oldest part to the 6th century. but it underwent an enlargement in 1577/1593. Originally dedicated to the pagan God Janus, it was then dedicated to the celebration of the Holy Savior. It is a single nave construction that anticipates the high altar. In this church there is a beautiful organ, a unique treasure present in the village, purchased by the municipality in 1628. This is the oldest in Puglia as well as being among the oldest in Italy and its realization was curated by Giovan Battista Olgiati from Como and by Tommaso Mauro da Muro. The Church of St. Anthony of Padua is characterized by the façade in classic white Lecce stone and has a round arch in rusticated. The Church of Santu Lasi instead is a church of early medieval origin that gave its name to the Masseria di San Giacomo della which the original nomenclature was ignored. The numerous chapels in the area are also very characteristic, which make the itineraries always interesting : among the many stand out the Chapel of Sant'Anna (dated 18th century by the Alemanno family, it is the classic rural chapel with all &# 39; inside the wonderful fresco dedicated to Sant'Anna), as well as the Chapel of the Holy Crucifix in the locality of Serrazza (a stone's throw from the archaic village of Spigolizzi and Fani, is considered important for its pagan origins, legend tells of the presence in the area of the mythical city of Cassandra). The Salve area is extremely sparkling during the summer offering a series of festivals and festivities very interesting: fundamental during the summer, in the municipality of Salve (as in all the centers of the area) the fried fish festival, or that of the orecchietta or, again, the Feast of the Sea in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary S.S. Rosario. If you wanted to enjoy good music, the concert schedule is extremely full-bodied and nationally: Max Gazzè and Niccolò Fabi, just to name a few, until you arrive to the Skunk Anansie, Snoop Doog, Ska-P as well as White Queen and many more.
