St. Bras Hill
It is a remarkable dolomite hill rising out vigorously in the middle of a landscape of dunes, covered by pine trees, being considered for that a floral wood “island”. All covered by dark-green vegetation the hill is visible up to 35 km from land, being a seamark for sailors. Its historical and natural interest is undeniable. Once known as Siano Hill, the pre-Roman occupation of the hill was testified by archaeological findings. At the summit, at 156 m high, accessed by stairs, the greatness of the view surprises and enchants the visitors; here stand the forest watching post and a small chapel, place of a century-old pilgrimage to St. Bras, each February 3^rd, in a religious and profane festivity that sets the beginning of the Carnival celebrations.
