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, known simply as Leuca, will begin. Leuca is the southwesternmost location in Italy.

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

You'll visit the Church of Cristo Re (Christ the King) in the marina of Leuca, then continue to explore several 19th-century villas that contributed to the area's renown. You'll also observe the Corinthian column in the square of the basilica and the Monumental Waterfall, completed in 1939 and marking the endpoint of the Apulian Aqueduct.

Finally, you'll enter the Basilica Sanctuary of Santa Maria Finibus Terrae, an 18th-century structure that once housed a pagan temple dedicated to Minerva, as indicated by an inscription preserved inside the church.

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