Punta Foghe represents the spectacular result of millennia of natural erosion: the plateau extends down to the sea, forming a majestic cliff with islets and small coves that enrich the scene. A unique element is given by the river which, before flowing into the sea, moves, failing to erode the basalt of the cliff. At the center of this natural setting is the Foghe tower, a Spanish lookout structure built at the end of the 16th century and decommissioned in the mid-19th century. Built of basalt and red vulcanite ashlars, the tower integrates in a fascinating way with the surrounding environment. From the tower, there are great views, with other coastal towers visible along the coast.
