Torre di Scopello — wedding venue in Scopello, Sicily
The tower was built in the 16th century as a coastal watchtower, part of the network of defensive structures that guarded Sicily's shores. It stands on a promontory overlooking the Faraglioni, surrounded by carob trees, dwarf palms, and agave.
The conversion into a wedding venue preserved the tower's commanding position and defensive character while opening it to celebrations that take full advantage of one of the most spectacular coastal settings in the Mediterranean.
