Agricultural land Portopalo di Capo Passero, Syracuse (province)
Description
The location is enviable, also because, while remaining in the immediate outskirts (Scala Mandria) of Portopalo di Capo Passero "TERRA NOBILE", it is served by electricity, telephone lines and town water.
Visiting the site offers an exceptional view, to the West with the COZZO SPADARO SEMAPHORE LIGHT that generates beams of light for air navigation and three beams for maritime navigation during the night hours and, when the weather is clear, from the top balcony of that lighthouse it is possible to see the lights of Malta, on the left the CASTELLO TAFURI and further on towards the town the Piazza di Scalo Mandria.
Adjacent to the land on the sea side, there is an ancient CAVE, a "RUTTA DA ZA MARIANNA" (Campisi), great-grandmother of the owner, where the inhabitants of the surrounding area took refuge during the Second World War. Today, in that naturally enchanting cave, tourists go for a swim in a green and crystal-clear sea as if they were in a swimming pool and, still, a few meters away there is the entrance to the GROTTA DI SAN Francesco, accessible inside even with a rowing boat.
About 50 meters away, there is the VECCHIA Tonnara on the sea platform, surrounded by the fishermen's houses of the tuna and, in the central point, the home of Baron Dottor Pietro Bruno di Belmonte, who in the last century was also the owner of the Castello, later purchased by the Pharmacist Tafuri of Pachino.
From the land, you can see Marzamemi, the Vendicari reserve (old Tonnara), the Lido di Noto, Cala Bernardo, ELORO and Avola on the sea side.
The land, which is rectangular in shape and extends for approximately 7,000 square meters, was once a terraced vineyard with prickly pears that sheltered it from the Levante wind, as it is always protected from the Ponente and Tramontana winds. Subsequently, the old and unproductive vineyard was uprooted, and the prickly pear grove was also eliminated, making the land uniform. Later, it was repeatedly deeply excavated to cultivate open-air vegetables. There is a natural well of about 15 meters, dug, apparently, at the end of the 1800s, with non-brackish water, currently unusable because it needs to be cleaned.
The entire area was subsequently fenced with chestnut stakes and partially delimited with available stones.
On the right of the Ionian Sea's water mirror rises the island of Capo Passero with the imposing Spanish Castle which is also a solar light lighthouse for maritime navigation, where there are also the tombstone and burial of the infant of Spain who died there. At noon, behind the island, you can observe the Maltese rock in the Mediterranean Sea. In the Ionian Sea, the island protrudes with a series of warehouses-sheds-tiled houses that house the ancient wooden boats for the mattanza (SCIERI) and the very large anchors of the Old Tonnara. The island also has a beach overlooking Portopalo, a stretch of coastline, exceptional for the clarity of the waters, not deep and quite warm, with sand that during the summer remains a paradise for children. When the low tide comes and the Mediterranean Sea is calm, it is possible to see the island united to the mainland by a submerged pier that allows crossing on foot.
The cliff that is adjacent to the land to the East extends into the Ionian Sea for about 20 meters. When the tide is low and the sea is like a table because the Ponente wind is blowing, it can be walked on and easily reached from several points (natural steps carved into the rock).
To the right of the cliff there is a swimmable area with...
