Gliaca: a hamlet of Piraino
Hello everyone! Today I'm going to talk about Gliaca, a hamlet of Piraino, a municipality in the metropolitan city of Messina. As you know, Piraino is located in Sicily, and Gliaca stretches along the Strada statale 113 Settentrionale Sicula, a coastal road that connects Messina to Palermo.
Monuments and places of interest
Gliaca is a village that was built by the Arabs in the 9th century, and on the sea we can admire a coastal tower dating back to the 16th century, called "Torre delle Ciaule" (which means "jay"). This historic monument takes us back in time, allowing us to imagine the life of sailors and fishermen who, in the past, sailed these waters in search of food and fortune.
