Capo Murro di Porco Lighthouse (Faro di Capo Murro di Porco) on the Maddalena Peninsula near Syracuse, Sicily. Here are three interesting facts about it: Strategic Location: The lighthouse marks one of the southeasternmost points of Sicily. It is an important navigational aid in the Ionian Sea and guards the entrance to the Gulf of Syracuse. Historical Decay and Charm: As you can clearly see in the picture, the original keeper's house is in a state of severe disrepair. This "ruin aesthetic" within the Plemmirio Marine Protected Area makes the site a popular destination for photographers and hikers. Revitalization Plans: In recent years, the Italian project "Valore Paese Fari" (The Value of Lighthouses as a Country) has been working to renovate such historic lighthouses. The aim is to transform them into exclusive accommodations or cultural centers, preserving their architectural heritage without compromising their maritime purpose.

The "gate in the sea," shaped like an elephant, is one of the most fascinating natural landmarks near Syracuse. It's the Arco dell'Elefante (Elephant Arch). The shape: Through millennia of erosion by wind and waves, the white limestone cliff has taken on the distinctive form of an elephant, its trunk plunging deep into the turquoise sea. The experience: It's not a typical sandy beach, but a rugged, rocky coastline. The water there is crystal clear and shimmers in intense shades of blue and green, making it a paradise for snorkelers and divers. Insider tip: The arch is a fantastic photo opportunity, especially at sunset when the warm light makes the bright rock glow.

A wonderful little beach with some rocks and some sand. In June 2024 there was nothing going on here during the week. The parking situation is a bit difficult. Parking is prohibited in the large square in front of the military site. We had to drive back and park along the road.
