Campanella
The frist part of the itinerary is characterized by the typical Mediterranean flora: holm-oaks, wild plums , oaks myrtles ,and ivies, clematises. Near Campanella it turns into a luxuriant vegetation: there are wild olive trees, Euphorbia, rosemaries and junipers. The trees are particular, in fact the wind models them in unusual shapes .
From the promontory it is possible to watch the peregrine falcon and the kestrel. On the extreme point of Campanella there was the temple devoted to Minerva , perhaps in the place later occupied by the Saracen tower , because its rectangular plan might suggest it was built on the foundations of the temple. Next to the temple, of the Greek origin, there was a Roman villa. Of it we have only a few remains among which some remains of exedra. Interesting elements are the remains (probably) of a speculum which was in front of the light house of villa Jovis at Capri.
The path leading to the temple of Athena is preserved from a long strips which prove that , from termini to Punta Campanella the layout has been untouched .We can reach Termini, a helmet of Massalubrense , by one of Sita buses from Tasso square. Punta Campanella is an itinerary of a great natural, historical and archeological interest.
