Frigole is a seaside resort of the Adriatic Sea in the province of Lecce, located about 9 km from the capital, of which it is a hamlet. Near the village stands the Acquatina basin, a coastal basin with lagoon characteristics and artificial origin. It is a wetland area covering approximately 100 acres, bordered by a series of sand dunes and surrounded by a thick Mediterranean maquis. The basin and the large area of ??surrounding lands are managed by the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences and Technologies, University of Salento. The basin is in constant contact with the sea by a shallow channel and receives freshwater inputs from the lateral branch of Canal Giammatteo. The town is made ??up of two squares and a parish, whose territory also includes the neighboring hamlet of Borgo Piave.
