    Towering over the Adriatic Sea, Torre Calderina stands in the center of a birdlife protected area characterized by cliffs, expanses of pebbles and fresh water springs.

    The tower takes its name from the architect who built it (Salvatore Calderini), today it is often confused with the  Torre della Cera located on the S.S. 16 Molfetta – Bisceglie (built in 1770 on behalf of the nobleman Pietro Gadaleta). Torre Calderina, on the other hand, stands on the seashore north of the city and represents a defensive construction built in 1569 with the intention of spotting the Turkish enemy coming from the sea in time to organize the defence. It was part of the complex system of watchtowers of the Kingdom of Naples.

    There are also numerous species of birds with sedentary and migratory species, so much so that these coastal territories are characterized as an oasis of protection for migratory avifauna.
    In recent years there have been several attacks by wild building which had targeted the place identified as a possible site in which to build first a residential complex, then a boat storage and finally a motel.
    Only thanks to the intervention of environmentalists was it possible to avoid the danger of overbuilding.
