FISHERMAN HOMES

The fishermen's houses, on your left, turn around the square and give the landscape a uniform appearance. They date back to 1627 when the tonnara was built. In 1752, on the occasion of the construction of the Palazzo del Principe in Villadorata, the sailors' houses were renovated. Currently, most of them are used for tourist accommodation. The houses have been built with blocks of stone, have a square shape and sloping roof. The most characteristic is the "house of the oven", so called because it is provided inside a huge oven, in masonry. The oven provided bread to all the inhabitants of the tonnara. Currently the house has the house number 7.

The ancient church, built as the palace of the Prince, in 1752, is all in sandstone, is raised, has three stone steps, which lead to the entrance door. Inside the church is a single nave, had a central altar, unfortunately, collapsed; on the sides there are two smaller altars, equal, supported by columns, and above, two niches. The church cover has completely collapsed. Only part of the bell tower and an arch next to it remain.
