The city of Pozzallo extends along the coast and represents one of the main seaside resorts in the Ragusa area. It is widely frequented by tourists, particularly during the summer period, who choose to spend their holidays on the beautiful Pozzallo seafront, divided into two sectors. The history of Pozzallo is intrinsically linked to its coastal position and its port, one of the busiest in Sicily and the largest in the area between the city of Ragusa and Pozzallo. Don't miss the Pietre Nere and Reganzino seafronts in Pozzallo.

Cabrera Tower of Pozzallo

Highlight • Historical Site

The Cabrera tower, which stands majestically on the cliffs of Pozzallo, is a living testimony to the history and art of defensive architecture. Built in the early fifteenth century, this coastal tower had the task of defending the precious Charger of Pozzallo from the pirates who threatened the Sicilian coasts. The idea for this magnificent structure came from the Count of Modica Bernat Cabrera, an eminent member of the noble Catalan family of Viscounts Cabrera and Bas. This family supported and financed the Spanish rulers during the reconquest of Sicily, gaining the county of Modica in exchange for their loyalty. Torre Cabrera, with its square shape and its imposing 28 meters of height from the ground, holds a fascinating history. Outside, you can still admire the 16th century escarpment bastion, which juts out towards the sea with an impressive terrace, designed to house cannons ready for defence. But there is more behind this tower: recent restorations have revealed that it was not only a defense structure, but also a "palacium," an aristocratic residence that played a key role in controlling the goods, including cereals, which were loaded by local shippers.
