The experience
A tuna trap of 1404 left almost entirely to nature: its four-pointed star-shaped defensive tower emerges from the Mediterranean scrub of the reserve, on one of the wildest stretches of coast on the itinerary. The new story widens the stop to the Mangiapane Cave, the Sanctuary and the Art and Faith Museum, following stone as a thread between devotion, rural life and coast.
