Santa Maria di Leuca is located 130 kilometers from the Airport of Salento, in Brindisi, and 90 kilometers from Lecce.

At the extreme tip of Puglia and Italy stands Santa Maria di Leuca. The promontory of Leuca has ancient origins. In fact, research has confirmed that this territory was frequented by the Neanderthal man. Testimonies of his passage have been found in the caves of the Devil, the Giant and the Child.

In addition, also in Santa Maria di Leuca, there was a village dating back to the Bronze and Iron Age located in the area of the current Sanctuary. Long before there was a pagan temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, the Minerva of the Romans, of which the historian Strabo also speaks. The temple, in fact, was visible by sailors even miles away, and it caused a certain fear. According to others, however, the pagan temple was the coastal sanctuary of Grotta Porcinara, still present in Leuca, but guarded behind a grate that prevents access.
