- Grotta del Soffio - Also known as the “Spray Cave,” it is situated within a large inlet called Ortocupo, featuring a spacious cavity at its center approximately 40 meters above sea level. It is believed that in ancient times, water flowed from this cave into the sea.
- Faro di Leuca - The Leuca Lighthouse stands atop Punta Meliso, on the site once occupied by a Saracen tower, near the expansive square in front of the Sanctuary dedicated to the Madonna.
Its construction began in 1864, designed by Engineer Achille Rossi, and it became operational on September 6, 1866.
The lighthouse is equipped with a lantern measuring 3 meters in diameter, which is mounted on an octagonal tower and a two-story building. The lantern consists of 16 lenses, with 6 clear and 10 darkened. These lenses project beams of white light visible up to 50 km away, alternating with red light beams to alert sailors of the hazardous shallows in the Ugento sea.
Since 1940, the beacon has also provided an international service, emitting a signal every 4 hours in clear weather and every 4 minutes in foggy conditions.
Inside the structure, there are 4 accommodations, 3 of which are used by the light technicians, while the fourth serves as an inspection room, engine room, and radio beacon room.
