Riserva Naturale Regionale di Rio Torsero

Also the Paleontological Museum of Rio Torsero is worth a visit: it was born to preserve the several finds discovered on the banks of the watercourse, above all fossil shells, to the extent that the area has been declared Regional Nature Reserve and it is one of the most important in Italy for the presence of macrofossils dating back to about 7 million years ago. The finds which concentrated at about one kilometer from the beach witness the ancient presence of a "Caribbean" sea, since they are very similar to other species of fossils found in the warm seas.
