Batteria San Placido
Coastal WWII gun battery ruin perched above the Ionian Sea near Scaletta Zanclea — shoot dramatic sea-and-cliff compositions, textural stonework, and long coastal vistas at sunrise or sunset. Expect narrow local roads and limited roadside parking; approach on foot from the small access path. No formal entry fee but wear sturdy shoes; watch for unstable edges. Clear mornings and low sun produce strong side-light on masonry; evenings offer warm backlight and colorful skies.
