| Description: |
The stacks of Lucia Rosa inherit
their name from a real event which occured at the end of the eighteenth century.
Lucia Rosa forbeeden to marry a poor farmer threw herself from the highest edge
of the rock. The stacks, have naturally been dug by the sea, and represent real
underground tunnels/passages beneath the sea level. On the other hand in some
small caves there are some petit pebbly beaches ( have your mask and snorkel
at hand ). In the direction of the faraglioni 700 m. more or less one can find
the "Secca dei Mattoni", its name is inhereted from a shipwrecked sailor from
the previous century, whose ship was transporting bricks. On the offshore of
the Faraglioni di Lucia Rosa, in the proximity of the "Secca dei Mattoni" on
September of 1985, 30 metres in depth, the relic of a Roman ship was found and
amphoras and vases of the first half of the first century were discovered in
its hold.
