About Acquarica del Capo
Acquarica del Capo sits at 110 m in Salento, about 10 km from the Ionian Sea and about 60 km from Lecce. It merged with neighbouring Presicce in 2019 to form Presicce-Acquarica. The town grew round a probable Norman fortification that Giovanni Antonio Orsini Del Balzo, Prince of Taranto, later turned into a castle; one round tower of the original four survives. At Celsorizzo there is a fortified masseria with a Norman tower and a chapel with Byzantine frescoes. The homes are spread across a wide area, not just the town. Most sleep around four, most have air conditioning and a garden, and a minority have a pool. Out of season the town is quiet.
