Torre Suda
⭐ 8.9
A 16th-century watchtower and a low coastline with clear waters, south of Gallipoli
The tower measures 13.5 m. A staircase leads to a drawbridge door on the first floor, where there is a vaulted octagonal room; the base houses a cistern. It communicated visually with Torre Sinfonò to the south and Torre del Pizzo to the north. In the hamlet, a small chapel is dedicated to Maria Stella del Mare, and early 20th-century Moorish-style villas tell the story of Racale families’ summers. A parish festival takes place on the first Sunday after August 15, featuring the Cuccagna a Mare.

À PROPOS DE Torre Suda
Torre Suda is Racale's only coastal frazione, south of Gallipoli, on Salento's Ionian coast. Its name comes from a 16th-century cylindrical watchtower, built to guard against Turkish incursions. The coastline is low and rocky, interspersed with coves and small beaches, with clear waters. Consider water shoes for entering the water.
The tower measures 13.5 m. A staircase leads to a drawbridge door on the first floor, where there is a vaulted octagonal room; the base houses a cistern. It communicated visually with Torre Sinfonò to the south and Torre del Pizzo to the north. In the hamlet, a small chapel is dedicated to Maria Stella del Mare, and early 20th-century Moorish-style villas tell the story of Racale families’ summers. A parish festival takes place on the first Sunday after August 15, featuring the Cuccagna a Mare.
