Ansedonia Beach\u00a0is not only famous for the Puccini Tower, but also for two important hydraulic engineering operas: the socalled\u00a0<strong>Tagliata Etrusca<\/strong> (Etruscan cut), a drainage channel cut through the tuff. This expedient consists of an\u00a0artificial canal dug into the rock, for a length of more than 80 meters. The interior of the Tagliata can be visited\u00a0today, crossing over a little bridge over the modern canal.<br \/>\nThe channel was designed not only to prevent the silting-up of the ancient harbor but also to drain the lowlying\u00a0hinterland and preserve the little Burano Lake. On the water&#8217;s edge is a large cavity in the rock known\u00a0as the <strong>Spacco of Bagno della Regina<\/strong> (Queen&#8217;s Bath). It is in fact part of the drainage works.<\/p>\n<h3>Ansedonia: the neverland village<\/h3>\n<p>Ansedonia is a particularly village entirely made up of beautiful <strong>villas<\/strong> and <strong>cottages<\/strong> high on a hill above the\u00a0coast. Ansedonia flourished in the <strong>50&#8217;s<\/strong>, with well-known architects of the time designing villas for the rich\u00a0and famous mostly in the mass-media circuit.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Ansedonia and its ancients villas<\/h3>\n<p>There are many places of a high archeological and historical interest on the promontory, which marks the\u00a0south-eastern border of the territory of Orbetello: above Ansedonia lie the ruins of sumptuous <strong>Roman villas\u00a0<\/strong>from the I- II A.C and the ruins of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cosa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Roman city of &#8220;Cosa&#8221;<\/a><\/strong>.
