Maganuco

Maganuco is a small but significant coastal hamlet in the municipality of Modica, located along the south-eastern coast of Sicily, near the port of Pozzallo. Characterised by a wide beach of golden sand and clear, shallow waters, Maganuco is a popular destination during the summer season for those seeking tranquillity, clean sea and wide natural spaces. Although it has no historical buildings or monuments of note, the locality is of interest due to its role in the recent evolution of the area, particularly its proximity to the industrial and commercial pole of the port, which marked the economic development of the area. Here there are also some testimonies of industrial archaeology that tell of the transformation of the landscape and local production activities. The contrast between the natural landscape, the seaside presence and the industrial infrastructure gives Maganuco a unique identity, suspended between relaxation, modernity and contemporary memory.
