Palude del Capitano
Highlight • Natural
Without a doubt one of the most evocative places in Salento, the so-called Palude del Capitano located in the area of the Porto Selvaggio Regional Natural Park (in S. Isidoro di Nardò), offers visitors an enchanting scenery.
Inside, lush vegetation with various plants now rare as well as evidence of prehistoric man.
In recent years, following archaeological excavations, the remains of a Roman villa have been brought to light and an ancient ointment filled with silver coins was also found.
In this site of Community interest there are several bodies of fresh water (due to the karst phenomenon of the collapse sinkholes, called spundulate in the local dialect) that gushes from the cold springs from the rock and mixes with the salty waters coming from small underground channels that from the nearby sea they join up to the swamp.
