Vallone dei Mulini
It is a deep cleft in the rock dating back more than 35,000 years, and takes its name from the presence of a mill used until the early 1900s to grind grain. Its ruins are still visible and, in addition, its construction still tells of numerous historical and artistic testimonies of great value. The construction of the Vallone dei Mulini was officially completed following the finishing of Piazza Tasso in the 19th century.
Piazza Tasso (Tasso Square)
Piazza Tasso is the main square in this seaside area and, crossed by Corso Italia, is the symbol of local city life. It is dedicated to one of its most famous citizens, the italian poet Torquato Tasso.
It is characterised by being surrounded by the Correale house with its majolica-tiled courtyard, the Baroque Church of Santa Maria del Carmine and the Grand Hotel Vittoria. At last, along the north side, where the above-mentioned hotel is located, there is a terrace looking out over the rock extension going to the Marina Piccola
