Built in 1924, Porto Flavia is an extraordinary masterpiece of mining engineering, perched between the cliffs and the sea along the coast of Masua. Carved into the rock face, it revolutionised mineral transportation thanks to an ingenious system of tunnels, silos and conveyor belts that made it possible to load ships directly.
The guided tour will take you into the heart of this impressive industrial structure, revealing its history and secrets, before leading you to its spectacular sea-facing viewpoint. From here, the gaze sweeps across the majestic silhouette of Pan di Zucchero and the surrounding coastline, where human ingenuity meets the beauty of nature.
