Travel Guide

10 shots panorama thanks to my mate who posed for this photo --- The bay of Porto Miggiano is located in the town of Santa Cesarea Terme, one of the best destinations to spend the holidays in Puglia, located in the east coast of Salento. La Torre Miggiano was probably built in the sixteenth century to protect the port and to the defense of the miners working quarries carparo stone and sent the segments throughout the county to provide useful material for construction. Now these ancient ruined structures create a unique landscape, surrounded by clear water that flows into the bay of Porto Miggiano.
