Falcone Tower

The Falcone tower is mentioned for the first time in the map of the military engineer Rocco Cappellino, sent to Sardinia by Emperor Charles V in 1552; it was probably built in 1577. Considering its strategic position, rather than defining it as a robust or simple tower (as defense towers were called), it could be considered more of a watchtower and signaling tower. The garrison consisted of two soldiers armed with two rifles and two pushguns.

From up here, you can enjoy an extraordinary view of Asinara and the sea.

Wonderful all-round view. Climbing the tower seems a bit dangerous as it is already a bit dilapidated, but when you're up there you forget everything. Absolutely recommended!

Going out one hour before sunset, then you are exactly right for the most beautiful sunset on the island above. The ruin / the tower was completed on 10.12.19 at 16 o'clock. A pity, would have to find out when the aufhat !? During ascent, two spots are a challenge for those who are not afraid of heights. Otherwise, it is a wonderful tour!
