A few metres from the Lavatoio Medievale, you reach Porta Pescara, an evocative ‘door’ overlooking the sea.A place from which breathtaking summer sunsets can be admired, and from which magical moments can be captured.

Porta Pescara has a characteristic late-medieval construction, with a Gothic arch surmounted by the coat of arms of the kings of Sicily. It was built during the reign of the Ventimiglia family, who ruled the city between 1200 and 1300, and still bears the remains of columns dating back to the same period.
