The Testa Tower was built in 1568 and is recognized as the seventh tower in this area, which was called “Capitanata” at the time. Around there are beaches of fine sand and crystal clear water for a swim and a relaxing break.

Still a beautiful coastal watchtower. After years of decay, some recent intervention has saved it from collapse and oblivion. Fantastic panorama on the sea. It is worth a little stop
