History

Rock formations by the sea in Torre San Giovanni

In the past it hosted an important Roman harbour and a relevant trade centre, as archeological discoveries testify.[1][2]

The octagonal tower devoted to San Giovanni was built in 1565 and is located on a tiny peninsula which once surrounded the small port. Inside the tower there is a fresco painted by San Giovanni. On top of the tower there is a lighthouse.

gollark: Maybe not the item restocking one. I don't know how good the interfaces to AE2 or whatever are.
gollark: It's capable of it. You're using it wrong.
gollark: It can do all the stuff you mention, probably, if you have a lot of computers and I/O devices! But it requires someone, somewhere, to have put in work.
