Specchia — Borgo del Salento

Puglia

Specchia takes its name from the ancient stone watchtowers (specchie) that dot the Salento countryside, and its own compact old quarter, part of the Borghi più belli d'Italia network, gives a quiet belvedere view over the olive-covered flatland typical of the region's deep south.
