Ruined village of Occi
Situated on a rocky promontory, at the altitude of 377m, the village of Occi is an observatory overlooking the plains and the sea, offering a breathtaking panoramic view. The history of the village dates back to the fifteenth century, at a time when the coastline was not safe from invasion. The inhabitants of a village on the coast, at a place called Spano, fleeing Saracens, took up occupation on the promontory of Occi. In the seventeenth century however the village declined, so that by April 1852, the municipality of Occi only consisted of 62 people. The last inhabitant, Felix Giudicelli died there in 1927.
This ruined village where only the chapel has been restored can be accessed via three walking trails. There is a circuit that includes a detour to the western summit of Capu d'Occi.
