Cave of Diavolo

The Greek sailors used the term Leukos to refer to the white cliff that gave its name to what we now call Leuca. It would later become Santa Maria di Leuca, probably due to the devotion associated with the Sanctuary of Santa Maria de Finibus Terrae, the land marking the boundary of the Roman territories.
In this strip of land, you can admire high and rugged cliffs, small golden bays interrupting the low rocks, and the famous karst caves.

Western Coast

Accessible by both sea and land, this cave takes its name from the wails that locals claimed to hear coming from deep within the cavity—likely sounds produced by the flow of air and water through the rock crevices. With its eerie yet fascinating appearance, the cave can be accessed through an opening on the promontory of Punta Ristola. Mostly, by following a rugged path, one can reach the sea entrance, where bones and fragments of ancient ceramics were discovered in the past.
