The essential characteristic of such a "Christo Rei" depiction—which the statue found here, although dedicated not to Christ the King but to the Redeemer and therefore called "Christo Redentore," involuntarily reminds every viewer—is that Jesus is not shown on the cross or as the crucified one (although his outstretched arms suggest this from a distance), but Christ is the King, the victor over sin and death, who has overcome all the suffering in the world. It is the outstretched arms of the lovingly drawing Christ with which the divine Redeemer embraces the land and the people living there in blessing.

One of the most characteristic places in the whole of Italy, the island of Correnti represents its southernmost point when the low tide allows it to be easily reached from the beach of Portopalo di Capo Passero. Right at the end of the latter is a statue of Christ with open arms, reminiscent of the much larger one in Rio. In the background you can see the meeting of the Ionian and Mediterranean seas.

The Cabrera Tower is also a symbol of the city of Pozzallo.

The beaches of Pozzallo are of fine golden sand and with beautiful dunes.

Here at Capo Passero, the southernmost tip of Italy, the Ionian and the open Mediterranean meet.

The deeper you go into the gorge, the more difficult the paths become. At the gorge entrance, sneakers are also sufficient; if you hike further, you will need hiking shoes.

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.
