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. This is the southwesternmost location in Italy. During the tour, you'll see its harbor, located between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, and the Santa Maria di Leuca Lighthouse, which stands over 48 meters high (157 feet).
You will visit the Church of Cristo Re in the center of the marina of Leuca, and then walk towards several 19th-century villas that contribute to the area's fame. You will also see the Corinthian column over the square of the basilica and the Monumental Waterfall, an architectural work from 1939 marking the endpoint of the Apulian Aqueduct.
Finally, you'll enter the Basilica Sanctuary of Santa Maria Finibus Terrae, a religious building dating back to the 18th century, which was once the site of a pagan temple dedicated to the goddess Minerva, with an altar inscription still preserved inside the church.
After two hours of exploring, the private tour of Leuca will conclude.
