Right next to the harbor is the Faraglione, a rock shimmering in different colors under which alum was once mined. Next to the Faraglione, stone-gray figures cavort in the "Vasca. The warm sulfur mud is said to have a good healing effect on some skin diseases, but also works wonders for osteoarthritis and joint diseases. The gray muddy bodies always look strange. Bathing in the mud pool used to be free. Since For a few years, the bath has been operated with showers and changing rooms and there is an entrance fee. The hot, foul-smelling mud hole is in operation all year round as a medicinal bath. "Di Fanghi", the island's sulphurous mud hole.
