Short climb from Fossacesia marina

Even a short stop? Absolutely worth it. At Trabocco Punta Torre, a special fishing structure from 1850, time almost seems to stand still. The enormous wooden arms, cables, and nets are still used today for traditional net fishing, exactly as it happened generations ago. What makes this place extra special is the warm welcome from manager Claudio. Passers-by and cyclists are regularly spontaneously invited to take a look. With visible enthusiasm, he explains how the ingenious system works and how the nets are lowered into the Adriatic Sea via a mechanical lifting mechanism. A short stop that not only lets you experience a piece of history but also provides an encounter that you will remember for a long time.

It's wonderful to get lost in the holm oak forest, just a stone's throw from everything yet isolated from the world!

Built in the Middle Ages, this gateway is one of the main entrances to the ancient village. On one of its sides, you can read a verse by Gabriele D'Annunzio, which reads: "The city of stone, shone in the clear of May."
