Tower of Saint John

Highlight • Historical Site

This tower dates back to the seventeenth century and was part of the dense system of coastal watchtowers of Sicily placed to defend against Saracen attacks. The structure overlooks the north side of the coast and once communicated, raising the alarm through fire, to the east with the tower of Macari. The latter, in turn, was connected to that of San Vito, where the Sanctuary is located today; The system of towers continued eastward with the tuna fishery of Secco, Uzzo, Scopello, Guidaloca and so on up to the Palermitan area. To the west, the Tower of San Giovanni communicated with that of the tuna fishery of Bonagia, and then moved on to San Cusumano, Trapani (Torre di Ligny and Colombaia), Nubia, Marausa and San Teodoro, thus continuing with the towers of Marsalese to continue throughout the coast of the island.
As of July 2022, access from the south side has been blocked. The reason was the danger of falling rocks and breaking a bank edge. Therefore, the ban is unlikely to be lifted in the foreseeable future.
