Torre Guaceto State Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Protected marine area, protected by the WWF, which occupies a stretch of coastline that goes from Punta Penna Grossa to the Apani rocks. For several years this area has been considered protected for its naturalistic interest: fauna and flora, in fact, are preserved here through the work carried out by the consortium that manages the oasis. In particular, the sandy bottoms and marine flora form an ecosystem in perfect balance, which allows the proliferation of animal species. The area is so called due to the presence of a tower built in the sixteenth century by the Aragonese.

Serranova Castle

Highlight • Castle

Feudal complex dating back to the seventeenth century, located in Serranova, in the countryside belonging to the municipality of Carovigno. The structure consists of a wall that encloses a square tower, surrounded by small medieval houses. At the end of the 18th century the structure became the property of Prince Gerardo Dentice di Frasso. In 1976 the structure was sold by the Dentice di Frasso heirs to a farm, thus making the complex inaccessible as it is private.
