    It is located 50 meters above sea level. Built in the 16th century during the reign of Charles V, it had defensive functions like all the other coastal towers.

    Cycling

    Inserted in the collection komoot.com/it-it/collection/2431081/-pietre-del-salento - It is without a doubt among the most beautiful watchtowers in Salento. It's worth the effort to get there.
