Le due sorelle, Salento

Torre dell'Orso, Melendugno, LE, Salento, Puglia, Italia

I ask myself how many places in the World are named as "Two sisters"..

 

On the south side of Torre dell'Orso bay, the maritime erosion, that caused the shoreline moving, made one of the most famous and beautiful view in Salento, the two sea stacks, so similar each other to be called "The two sisters".

A local legend tells that in the same place where the two sea stacks are, two sisters died trying to save each other from drowning.

In place of the two beautiful bodies, two sea stacks were born and they looked like they were embracing.
