Church of the Madonna of Constantinople

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of Our Lady of Constantinople or better known locally as the Church of the Devils, thanks to an ancient name that mentions the fact that the devil told the citizens of Tricase to build the church in one night otherwise he would have sent them to the underworld ... Furthermore, it is said that the missing bell of the adjoining bell tower, again for another ancient legend, was dismantled and transported to the bottom of the Canale del Rio and sometimes it can be heard retouched when there are currents or with rough sea ... Currently seat of local socio-cultural events in the area in front and which in recent times thanks to conservative restructuring interventions can be admired in the state in which it is presented

Tratturo Corte Guti

Highlight • Trail

A splendid municipal sheep track immersed in the green of the Vallonee oaks that from the church of the Devils allows us to go towards the Serra del Mito, Torre del Sasso. Passing this path really allows us to take a leap into the centuries when the roads were beaten only and only by the furrows of carts, by the trampling of mules and peasants, surrounded by dry stone walls and beautiful countryside. Here the only audible noises are the song of cicadas, the chirping of birds and the blowing of the wind ...

Abandoned for decades and under meters of vegetation that made it invisible to all, it was found in 2017 by the ASD MTB Tricase. From 2020 it officially became part of the paths protected by the Park Authority naming it with the code "PNR COL F20 Tratturo Corte Guti".

Torre del Sasso Trail

Highlight • Trail

Torre del Sasso, located on the crest of the Serra del Mito at 116 meters above sea level, was part of a system of towers built along the entire coast of Salento, equipped with cannons, in sight of each other; so that, in case of raids by the Turks or pirates, the populations inside could be properly warned. The tower, whose existence is ascertained in 1584, is partially destroyed. To protect it, the various local associations are continually seeking support for the administrations for recovery.

Serra del Mito

Highlight • Viewpoint

A magical place rich in history ... its main path was chosen as the official stretch of the Via Francigena Traiano Calabra. From the panorama of the Serra del Mito it is possible to admire the beautiful terraces overlooking the sea ... The place is full of numerous trekking and mountain bike trails. There is also a comfortable bench on site where you can relax and enjoy the view. To visit absolutely.

View of the Salento Coast

Highlight • Viewpoint

In my opinion, one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Salento, somewhere between myth and legend, inevitably leaves its mark on the memory of those who travel through these places. We're talking about the Serra del Mito.
