Punta Pesce Spada, Geographic point at southern Lampedusa, Italy.

Punta Pesce Spada is a coastal headland on the southern shore of Lampedusa island, marking the southernmost point of Italian territory in the Mediterranean. The promontory extends into the sea, offering views across open water and toward distant shores.

The headland marks Italy's southernmost point, lying on the African Plate just 134 km from Tunisia and 162 km from Malta. On 28 June 2008 the sculpture Porta di Lampedusa – Porta d'Europa by Mimmo Paladino was inaugurated here, dedicated to the memory of migrants who died at sea.

The sculpture Porta di Lampedusa - Porta d'Europa by Mimmo Paladino was inaugurated here on 28 June 2008. It is dedicated to the memory of migrants who died at sea. The work stands on the low rocky shore just east of Lampedusa's port, between Punta Maccaferri and Capo Maluk.

The location is accessible via a coastal path from Lampedusa port, marked with clear signs. The terrain can be windy and exposed to sun, so proper clothing and sun protection are advisable.

The headland lies on the African Plate, not the Italian geographical region, so Italy's southernmost tip is geologically African. From here Tunisia is 134 km away and Malta 162 km, closer than any point of mainland Italy.
