About Cala Incina

The reef of Cala INCINA is certainly the reef most interesting of the coastal area of Polignano: extended for about 2 km, deepens as it approaches the coastline, to lead into the sea near Torre INCINA, built in 1539 and remodeled several times, part of that system of coastal towers erected in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in defense of Puglia from the incursions of the Saracens. The reef is cutting into the bank develops calcarenites and thanks to the easy erodibility sides of these rocks occur in many places almost perpendicular and along the walls there are numerous caves, partly natural and partly dug by man, evidence of settlements Rock also very old. The outlet of the blade is still used as the small local fishing port. In water there are small coves and inlets, an anchor at a depth of 10 meters. ______________ La lama di Cala Incina è sicuramente la lama più interessante del territorio costiero di Polignano: estesa per circa 2 chilometri, si approfondisce man mano che si avvicina alla linea di costa, fino a sfociare a mare in prossimità di Torre Incina, costruita nel 1539 e più volte rimaneggiata, parte di quel sistema di torri costiere erette nel XVI e nel XVII secolo a difesa della Puglia dalle incursioni dei Saraceni. La lama si sviluppa incidendo il banco calcarenitico e proprio grazie alla facile erodibilità di queste rocce i versanti si presentano in molti tratti quasi a picco e lungo le pareti si aprono numerose grotte, in parte naturali e in parte scavate dall'uomo, testimonianza di insediamenti rupestri anche molto antichi. Lo sbocco della lama è ancora oggi utilizzato come porticciolo dalla piccola pesca locale. In Acqua sono presenti piccole grotte ed insenature, un ancora alla profondità di m 10.
