A nice view
The pylons are tall towers that carry the electrical current from the mainland to Sicily, separated by the Straits. Built between 1948 and 1955, the steel cables run for more than three kilometres. The Santa Trada lighthouse on Calabria is higher than the Torre Faro on Sicily. In 1994, the overhead lines were replaced by submarine cables, with higher performance for transporting electrical energy. Today both pillars are preserved as historical monuments. The Faro pylon has been open to the public since 2006, and you can climb the 1,250 steps to the top and admire the view.
