 Santa Maria Navarrese, founded in the 1950s by Baunese settlers, has grown around a Medieval church dating back to around the AD 1000, consecrated to Santa Maria Assunta.According to tradition, the church was built on behalf of a princess of Navarra, hence the adjective Navarrese in the village's name.The place is known also for a 17th-century watchtower built on the beach and for the thousand-year old oleasters in the main square.
