About this site
Parete Rossa lies along the coastline of Castrignano del Capo, near the southern tip of the Salento peninsula in Puglia, at the heel of Italy. This stretch of the Ionian coast is known for its limestone cliffs and rocky seabed, with small boats operating out of nearby coastal towns such as Santa Maria di Leuca. Divers here have also reported fried egg jellies and mauve stinger jellyfish drifting along the wall.
