Santa Maria di Leuca Private Tour

At the selected time, you'll meet the guide in front of the Sanctuary of Santa Maria Finibus Terrae. Your private tour of Santa Maria di Leuca, often called Leuca, will begin. This location is the southwesternmost point in Italy.

During the tour, you'll see its harbor between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas and the Santa Maria di Leuca Lighthouse, standing over 48 meters high (157 feet) at Punta Meliso.

You’ll visit the Church of Cristo Re in the center of the marina of Leuca, then proceed to view various 19th-century villas famous in this Apulian resort. Additionally, you'll observe the Corinthian column in the basilica square and the Monumental Waterfall, finished in 1939, marking the endpoint of the Apulian Aqueduct.

Finally, you'll enter the Basilica Sanctuary of Santa Maria Finibus Terrae, an 18th-century religious building once home to a pagan temple dedicated to the goddess Minerva, as indicated by an altar inscription preserved inside.

After two hours of exploring, the private tour of Leuca will conclude.
