The Torre Grande is the largest Spanish tower in Sardinia, built between 1542 and 1572. This town is lively thanks to the presence of clubs, bars, concerts, shows, restaurants, festivals, exhibitions and markets.
The tower represents the main legacy of Spanish domination in Sardinia, and the nearby town of Oristano also shows extensive traces of fortifications, both medieval and Aragonese. This area is one of the places where the Spanish most influenced construction on the island.
Built in the period of the Spanish Empire, around 1540, it served as a protection for the Gulf of Oristano and the mouth of the Tirso river. Imposing monument, in my opinion to be enhanced and made known in more depth.
Ideal starting point for Gravel and mountain bike rides (many paths that bypass the paved roads) to do the coastal path from Putzu Idu to Capo San Marco
