Specchia

Specchia is a tiny village of great charm, Specchia, a municipality on the Capo di Leuca where time seems to have stopped: in the old centre, the courtyard houses and noble palaces seem to tell a story that is always current, creating atmospheres of rare beauty, made possible also by the careful work of protection and enhancement of the architectural heritage and industrial archaeology implemented over the years. The heart of the village is the Risolo Castle, which overlooks the central Piazza del Popolo and has a large inner courtyard, where the large crenellated tower stands out: the castle has recently been restored and is now the venue for the many events organised here, and is part of the village's albergo diffuso circuit. And if this is the centre, the countryside enchants with its expanses of olive groves: in fact, Specchia is part of the Itinerary of the Oil Roads, thanks to its production of this prized product, symbol of the area.
