Towers and tunny-fishing factories routes
It’s a landscape and coastal itinerary to be followed as an adventure, a photographic tour in pursuit of unique views, among monuments to the work and strength.
If you’re looking for abandoned “tonnare”, although the life and work of entire generations can never be heard, you’ll be able to listen to the rustle of the wind accompanying your curious gaze, through evocative strips of old walls, plays of light and old industrial techniques, to the discovery of corroded tools of the past.
Whereas, in the few “tonnare” remaining, today turned into factories or hotels, you can seek their old form. Instead, the many ancient towers will pave the way, because it’s good to remember that there will always be one that observes you from afar and everywhere.
Today, these monuments to the strength, these communication, defence and sighting towers suffer fatigue of time: medieval or seventeenth century structures, they are almost always located on steep slopes, or even unreachable: on the top of spurs of rock, high, very high on crests difficult to reach.
Today, those which can be reached are always ruins, timeless and without a future, abandoned because of the carelessness of man by a distracted society, but sublime to the gaze, immersed in the blue of the sea, in the grey of the rocks, in the brown of the soils, in the green and in all the colours of a still friendly nature.
