Cave of the Horse

Highlight • Cave

The Grotta del Cavallo is famous for the archaeological finds of human and animal remains dating back to the Paleolithic. Some of the oldest Homo sapiens in Europe, who lived around 40,000 years ago, were discovered here. The entrance to the cave is not open to the public, but there is a splendid view of the entire coast.

Panoramic View of Porto Selvaggio

Highlight • Viewpoint

A special mention is due; if Porto Selvaggio today is what it is it is due to Renata Fonte who gave her life to protect this area, we hope it holds up ... indescribable naturalistic beauty.

Torre dell'Alto (Saint Mary of the Heights)

Highlight • Monument

The Torre dell'Alto, or more precisely of Santa Maria dell'Alto, is a lookout tower built in 1569, it communicated to the north with Torre Uluzzo and to the south with Torre Santa Caterina. It was built by the Neretine architect Angelo Spalletta at the request of Philip II, son of Charles V, who wanted it to be built in order to fortify the coast. The tower, characterized by a height of 14 m, stands on a rocky spur about 50 m above sea level. This spike is called "Goat Jump". From the slopes of the tower you can see a truly breathtaking view.

Trullo near Santa Caterina

Highlight • Structure

We couldn't find the trulli house. It seemed like something might be behind a wall on private property.
