Beautiful rock formations

Between the 16th and 17th centuries, three watch and defense towers were built in Arbatax to protect the area from pirate raids. The Tower of San Gemiliano, built in 1587, is one of these. It was originally known as "Taratasciar" in Arabic, which means thirteenth tower. In the 17th century it was called Torre di Zacurru and only in 1767 did it acquire its current name. It is possible to climb two ladders to reach the top of the tower and enjoy the view of the gulf. The walk up to the tower is short and easy.

Great To The Tower. Free of charge

The Tower of San Gemiliano is a tower that is part of the complex of fortified structures that formed the defense, visual and communication system of the Sardinian coast from the early Middle Ages to the mid-19th century. It is located on the east coast of Sardinia in Ogliastra, a few hundred meters from the town of Arbatax and about four kilometers from Tortolì. The tower dates from the early seventeenth century. The architectural structure of the tower gives it an extremely slender appearance. The shape is a truncated cone, 12 meters high and only 7 meters in diameter. Inside there is a small room of about 13 m². The tower was born with the function of lookout and immediate defense against pirate attacks. Located at 42 m above sea level, you have a view of 25 km of the sea. It dominates the beaches of Orrì and Cea and was in direct visual contact with the Tower of Barì and the Tower of Bellavista, which no longer exists. The structure can be visited. It can be reached both from the beach and from a dirt road that crosses Via San Gemiliano.
