Capo di Muro

From Ajaccio drive to Porticcio and then follow the D55 and then the D155 towards Propriano . Shortly after Acqua Doria, a road branches off to the right in the direction of Capu di Muru. After 2.5 km keep to the right. The road ends a little later and you park at the edge.

We have an app on our phone that records our walks, which is quite fun (the App is called Komoot). The map on the left side is our recorded walk.

chapel of Madonuccia

The Tafoni rock all around is fascinatingly jagged and eroded.

The tower was built in around 1600. It was one of a series of coastal defences constructed by the Republic of Genoa between 1530 and 1620 to stem the attacks by Barbary pirates.
