Punta Manara, Protected promontory in Sestri Levante, Italy.
Rising to 265 meters, Punta Manara extends into the Gulf of Tigullio with dense Mediterranean woodland and maritime pine forests covering its slopes.
A strategic Saracen watchtower, built at 140 meters above sea level, stands as a testament to the promontory's maritime defense history.
The promontory's paths lead visitors through 190 hectares of protected land, showcasing native Mediterranean flora including strawberry trees and cork oaks.
Multiple marked hiking trails start from Sestri Levante, requiring sturdy shoes and water supplies for the ascent to Monte Castello's summit.
The northern slopes channel water into Rio Ravino, supporting local agriculture and olive cultivation in the Ginestra village area.
