The Torre Negra was built during the reign of Philip II (mid-16th century) for defensive purposes against the Saracen landings.

It has a conical-cylindrical shape and is arranged on two floors. The entrance is located five meters high. A slit close to the ground was used for ventilation.

The Torre di Airadu (or Torre Radu, Torre Bianca or Torre di Mezzo) is a tower in the bay of Porto Ferro (Sassari); when they joined the Torre Negra and the Torre di Bantine Sale, it was one of the three towers that dominated this coast and protected the island from Saracen incursions during the reign of Filippo II[1].

Internal view

It is a classic "senzillas tower" located on the road between the other gates of Porto Ferro[1]. Erected in the 16th century, it is made of a compost heap of calcareous rock and calcareous malt; it is about 6 meters tall, has a diameter at the base of about 12 meters and remains intact on the inside of the interior[2]; the only entrance door is a 1.5-3 meter high post entrance from where you can access the interior, delimited by a volta on the dome with a central view and surrounded by various niches and holidays.
