Punta Pesce Spada, Geographic point at southern Lampedusa, Italy.
Punta Pesce Spada extends along the southern shore of Lampedusa island, marking the southernmost location of Italian territory in the Mediterranean Sea.
The strategic position of this cape between Tunisia and Malta made it a crucial navigation reference point for Mediterranean maritime routes since ancient times.
A monumental gate sculpture by Mimmo Paladino stands at Punta Pesce Spada since 2008, commemorating individuals who perished crossing the Mediterranean Sea.
Visitors can reach the point by following the coastal path from Lampedusa port, where clear signage indicates the direction to this geographic landmark.
Despite its administrative connection to Italy, Punta Pesce Spada sits on the African tectonic plate, creating a geological intersection between two continents.
