The English cemetery of Golfo Aranci is located in the vicinity of Cala Greek at the foot of Capo Figari<\/a><\/strong>. A 10-minute walk from Cala Moresca along a path through the Mediterranean maquis takes you to a quiet and private place where some 13 tombs, an altar and a pyramid-shaped parallelepiped with an engraved plaque are kept. The name of the place comes from the presence of a Celtic cross engraved with \"To the sacred memory of George Bradshaw - died 12 June 1900 - aged 18 years - H.M.S.Vulcan<\/em>“.<\/p>

In fact it is the only gravestone in the cemetery attributable to a sailor of Her Majesty's Navy. Other gravestones have been placed in memory of sailors picked up in Cala Greca following the sinking of a sailing ship and buried here in the late 1800s. It is also said that the remains of some of the inhabitants are buried here. golfarancini<\/em> whose traces have been lost in the mists of time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

On the summit of Punta Filasca in the near Cala Moresca<\/strong> is the area of the Coastal Battery built during the First World War. Today, the emplacements dug into the rock with the anchor bolts of the large-calibre cannons are well preserved and visible. The santabarbara, which is said to have been indispensable for supplying ammunition to the vanguard in defence of the coast, is also clearly visible.<\/p>

The visit to the Golfo Aranci battery<\/strong> with its cliff overlooking the sea offers a 180-degree view of the horizon, suggesting insights into the life of the time and the ways in which it was defended.
