Hiking
In Procida, if you go up to the walled ground, under the passage that leads to Palazzo d'Avalos you will see some black crosses.
The crosses have been embedded in a whitewashed wall so they stand out even more and are there to remember an event that occurred in 1849.
We are in the midst of the anti-Bourbon riots when some political prisoners are taken from the prison installed in Palazzo d'Avalos and are massacred. The crosses are there precisely to remember their death.
