Punta Bianca Beach

The Main attraction is the Ex Caserma della Guardia di Finanza. The building served as a barracks for the Guardia di Finanza, Italy’s financial police force. These forces were responsible for monitoring and combating smuggling, ensuring customs regulations were upheld, and safeguarding Italy's financial interests. Given Sicily’s strategic location in the Mediterranean, this site was crucial for overseeing maritime activities and controlling the coastline. Constructed in the early 20th century, the barracks exemplify typical military architecture of the period. The building's robust and utilitarian design reflects its functional purpose. While the caserma is now abandoned, its weathered walls and structures stand as a testament to its historical role. The simplicity and sturdiness of the architecture provide a stark contrast to the natural beauty surrounding it. While the ex caserma is no longer in active use and is partially in ruins, it remains an evocative site for exploration. Visitors can wander around the remnants of the barracks, imagining the daily lives of the financial police who once manned this outpost. The site also offers numerous vantage points for photography, with the striking white cliffs and azure sea providing a stunning backdrop.
