The Peschici Castle dominates the sea, the first structure built in the current historic center, built by the Normans around the year 1000 on the remains of a Greek castle.
Downstream you will find the characteristic small port, the long sandy bay and continuing northwards a rocky ridge with a pine forest and the characteristic “Tower of Monte Pucci” which separates you from the bay of Calenelle and San Menaio.
