Parco Rurale

The Archaeological Park and the Rural Museum of Masseria Spina Resort

Archaeological Park and Museum

Parco Rurale is the Archaeological Park and the Rural Museum of the most famous Masseria Spina Resort. An amazing place where ancient history, pristine nature, and local experiences blend harmoniously.

This rural park surrounds Masseria Spina: located in the countryside of Monopoli, which is one of the best little sea towns on the coast from Bari to Lecce.

A three centuries long story

The most fascinating thing about Parco Rurale is that it tells a three centuries long story.

The park is divided into different areas, first of all, you can visit the millenary olive trees grove of the property.

It is a beautiful yard also available for private parties and country-style weddings.

But if we can suggest you: try to spend a bit of your time looking at the fantastic olive trees trunks. It could be something really special for you if you’ve never seen an Apulian millenary olive tree.

Going on with your walking tour in the property of Parco Rurale and Masseria Spina, you’ll find “Spina Piccola”. It is the old sighting tower of the ancient farm, with the stable, full of horse tools used by the Masseria ancestors.

After “Spina Piccola” another highlight of Parco Rurale is the rupestrian oil mill. Actually, it is very common in Puglia, but this one is huge because it was used to produce the oil (before) and the silk (later) of the entire property.

Some other beautiful spots await you at Parco Rurale, but we won’t spoil everything about this place.

So, you need to book your visit here once in Puglia!

The tale of the Two Sisters


Traveling on the Apulian Adriatic coastline, in a few km from Lecce city, you’ll reach the marine area of Torre dell’Orso and the most famous Two Sisters Beach | ita: Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle.

  • Two Sisters Beach - Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle | Torre dell'Orso | Lecce | Salento | Puglia

Are you curious to know something about that singular name?

Well, there is a nice and a bit sad tale behind the Two Sisters Beach | ita: Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle. This gives the location a huge air of mystery.

This marine area is very fascinating. Reachable walking through a little Mediterranean Maquis forest, under the cliffs there’s a sandy beach 800 meters long.

Slight white sand, clear turquoise seawater, warm enchanting sun, everything in the same stunning place.

But probably you’re still thinking about the tale, so, I’m going to tell the story.

The tale of the Sisters

« The tale says that once upon a time, two young sisters were living in the Salento area. They were very hard workers, and they had never seen the magnificence of the sea.

One day, to counteract the hot summer, they went toward the seaside for the first time. Well, they were so much fascinated by the amazing view they got there that the younger one dived from the cliff into the water. At that point, the eldest sister tried to save her, but it was too late.

They couldn’t get back to the shore. The Gods, looking at them: alone, desperate, and cute, decided to turn them into two beautiful rocky stacks in the middle of the sea.

A fisherman, while walking nearby, just saw two rocks rise from the sea. Since that day, the beach is known as Two Sisters Beach. »

The tale is very magical but a bit sad, and once there, it’s really hard to don’t get emotional.

Then, the clear seawater just completes the landscape.

Two Sisters Beach and Torre Dell’Orso

The Two Sisters Beach| ita: Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle | is located in the marine area of MelendugnoTorre dell’Orso. For the sake of completeness, we have to say that also this name has got a charming little story.

In this case, the name Torre dell’Orso, which literally means Bear Tower, derives from the sighting tower by the sea.

Then, on the cliff under the tower, there’s a rock shaped like a bear by the erosion.

Then, drive from Lecce to Roca Vecchia village, where the amazing Poetry Cave | ita: Grotta della Poesia | awaits you for a nice dive.

After that, run towards the Two Sisters Beach | ita: Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle | to get a relaxing swim into one of the most beautiful seas of Puglia.

In the end, reach Torre Sant’Andrea to admire the stunning view of The Sea Stacks of Sant’Andrea | ita: I Faraglioni di Sant’Andrea .

But if you have still time, don’t miss the weird landscape of the Bauxite Cave | ita: Cava di Bauxite | quite close to Otranto.
