The Tower of Lake Patria, usually called Torre di Patria, is a 16th-century coastal tower and part of a vast defensive system in southern Italy. It was built during the Spanish rule of the Kingdom of Naples, primarily under the viceroys in the 16th century. The purpose of these towers was to protect the coast from pirate and Saracen raids, which posed a significant threat to villages, trade, and fishing at that time. The tower is strategically located between Lake Patria and the sea. From here, watchmen could monitor the open sea and the coastline. In case of alarm, smoke or fire signals were relayed from tower to tower—an early warning system that allowed for the rapid organization of military assistance or the evacuation of the population. Architecturally, the Torre di Patria is typical of the period: a massive, square structure with thick walls, few openings, and a raised platform. It was intended less as a residence and more as a purely military and observation post. With the decline of piracy, the tower lost its military significance from the 18th century onward. Today, it is primarily a historical landmark of the region, a reminder of an era when the Campanian coast was under considerable threat. Together with Lake Patria and the ruins of Liternum, it forms a vivid ensemble that combines Roman antiquity, medieval and early modern defenses, and landscape history.

Building from the 15th century. Unfortunately it is empty today.
