The path offers breathtaking views of the sea, cliffs, and history, ending at the Castle of Cape of Rodon, a monument of special cultural and historical significance.

The Castle of Cape of Rodon continues to attract both local and foreign tourists. It was built in the 15th century and, according to early records, originally had a square layout with four towers.

Today, only the central tower, standing 10 meters tall, and a small portion of the walls remain. Due to the erosive activity of seawater, part of the castle walls have been submerged under the Adriatic Sea.

Visitors can still see the outer walls on the right side, which end with a round tower. Nearby are also the ruins of the Church of Saint Peter, which locals consider a sacred place.
