About Forte di Capopassero
Forte di Capopassero was originally built by the Crown of Spain for combating the activities of pirates. The fort sits on the highest point of the island and rests on a massive portion of that limestone that characterizes the island, giving it an imposing view over the surrounding bay. Isola di Capo Passero is a fish-shaped island is a natural oasis basking just 250 meters from the southern Sicily coast. It also once housed the old tuna fishing warehouses, where nets were stored. It is now a haven for birds and marine life who revel in the clean sea and undisturbed atmosphere. (Isola di Capo Passero, Sicily, Italy)
