Initially belonged to the family Catania Tornabene, who won a title even feudal (Barons of Tonnara di Noto River). At the end of the seventeenth century was given to the census Nicolaci Noto and is currently the family Loreto. The structure, witnessed a flourishing in the past, expressed even in plants, the strong bond between integral territory and coastal sea, and between the agrarian economy and seafood, also because of a similar system of ownership and system management. The village now, at Old Sea to Avola, before moving dall'altipiano and reconstruction of the city after the earthquake of 1693, may be considered the first inhabited the sea's Avola. Today, the tuna is home to a small circle nautical and is in good state of preservation because you can still read part of the plant. The survivor, approximately 5000 square meters, is composed of a series of warehouses and sheds for the storage, preservation and processing of fish around a central loggia. A chimney made of bricks can understand that the Tonnara di Avola formed part of those structures for a new era of industrialization. Among the few documents preserved is a historic photo where you can see the features wooden boats inside malfaraggi. The complex was also equipped with a single-nave church, probably at the end of the eighteenth century. Together with most leading Tonnare Cape Passero and Marzamemi that stand out at the far southeastern coast, the River Tonnara di Noto (name attributed probably because its original location was at the mouth of the river Asinaio, as reported by Villabianca) represents one of typically complex main coastal Gulf of Noto. Indeed, like all the other structures of southeastern Sicily, the Tonnara di Avola was to return, namely catturava tuna after the period of reproduction.
