    The tower of San Giovanni, built by the Aragonese before 1591, stands in the seaside resort of the same name. Its main function was to serve as a watchtower and defense against enemy ships, in particular those of Saracen (from the East) and Barbary (from the Maghreb) origins, which were frequent in this part of the coast.

    Every year, summer concerts and performances are held near the tower with notable people from various parts of Italy.
