Torre Guaceto

The Nature Reserve of Torre Guaceto is a WWF protected area with extraordinary natural resources.

Originally the area was characterized by the presence of fresh water, which helped the growth of extensive woodland and varied species of animals.

The place is so called after a tower which is part of a series of towers existing along the coast.
In the 16th century, because of the continuous and violent Turkish incursions, an Aragonese family introduced a new defense system.
The system they planned and realized consisted in a series of towers along the coast of their dominions. These towers communicated using smoke during the day and fire during the night.
