NEARBY
The heart of Specchia is represented by the central square (Piazza del Popolo), located in the highest part of the town and overlooked by several interesting buildings:
- Risolo Castle, a sixteenth-century noble palace that belonged to various noble families, today owned by the Risolo family;
- the Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in baroque style, like most churches in Salento;
- the particular Palazzo Baronale Ripa, with its particular and evocative portico, today a meeting point for the young people of Specchia.
Among the wonderful attractions of Specchia, the ancient underground oil mills dating back to the period from 1500 to 1800 should also be included. These are environments dug deep into the living rock where, in the past, the olives intended for production were processed of what has always been a source of wealth and a source of pride for the Salento area: extra virgin olive oil.
Finally, the characteristic Borgo Cardigliano is also of considerable interest: a "ghost" village that has been expertly transformed into an eco-village, energetically autonomous but perfectly integrated into the architecture and natural environment of the area.
One of the reasons why you should choose Specchia as a destination for your holidays is its strategic position. In fact, its location, halfway between the Ionian Sea and the Adriatic Sea, will allow you to reach several interesting Salento locations in a few minutes by car, including Santa Maria di Leuca (22 km away), the heel of Italy, with the characteristic nineteenth-century villas, the seafront and the basilica sanctuary Santa Maria De Finibus Terrae; and Marina di Pescoluse (16 km away), “The Maldives of Salento”, with its golden and very fine beaches.
