Imposante Burgruine

The Tower of San Giovanni is the only military testimony of the Middle Ages and has been the inspiration for many legends that have survived to this day. It is said that the tower was built as a prison for exiles. According to legend, the tower also served as a prison for Agrippina Postumio, third son of Agrippa and Giulia, daughter of Ottaviano and the famous philosopher Seneca. Another legend tells that the queen of the island of Elba was imprisoned there for life because she fell in love with a Saracen. No matter what you believe, the view from here alone is worth a visit.

The tower of San Giovanni is a garrison tower located in Morota in the municipality of Campo nell'Elba, on the island of Elba. The tower is close to the parish church of San Giovanni, from which it takes its name, and is located in a strategic position on a Monzogranite spur.

The oldest sanctuary on the island of Elba, in a small plain at the foot of Monte Capanne, is the hermitage of San Cerbone. The church is surrounded and sheltered by a magnificent forest of hundred-year-old chestnut trees, so embraced by nature that it cannot be seen from afar. According to tradition, it was the place where the bishop of Populonia took refuge in 569 when fleeing to Elba from the attacks of the barbarians and the Lombard warriors.
