Torre Olivieri, located on the coast between Bisceglie and Trani. Also called Torre Lama due to its proximity to the natural stone bridge of the same name, it was designed by the two Neapolitan engineers Benvenuto Tortelli and Giovan Tommaso Scala and finished in 1598.

20 meters high, it was part of the network of coastal watchtowers of the Kingdom of Naples. It has a quadrangular base and each side has three machicolations, or three hatches from which it was possible to launch projectiles, stones or other "weapons" at any attackers. One of the most interesting sentinels of the land of Bari, however, it has the serious problem of the soil on which it was built: a stratified limestone cliff severely threatened by erosion.
