Geographic Perspective
Salento peninsula is a rock of limestone dividing the Adriatic Sea from the Ionian Sea. Known also as "peninsula salentina", from a geo-morphologic point of view it encompasses the land borders between Ionian sea and the Adriatic sea to the “Messapic threshold”, a depression that runs along the Taranto-Ostuni line and separates it from the Murge. Its borders are:
- Taranto, in the province of the same name;
- Pilone, in the territory of Ostuni (province of Brindisi),
- Santa Maria di Leuca, in the province of Lecce.
