The construction of the lookout and signal towers that were built along the coast on promontories such as Punta Manara and Punta Baffe date back to the 16th and 17th centuries. The Baffe Tower is apparently the destination of many hikers. From up here you also have a magnificent view!!

Great view. The tower is open and can even be climbed with a ladder

Ancient well restored tower built by the Republic of Genoa used for sightings and signaling by burning bundles of dry heather moistened during the day and sprinkled with oil at night to warn fellow citizens of the arrival of Saracen vessels
