Cala d'Oliva Tower

Highlight • Monument

The Cala d'Oliva tower was built in 1611 following the project of Andrea Perez, ordinary captain of the works of the Kingdom of Sardinia. Its strategic position allowed the surveillance of a beach often frequented by Barbary corsairs for the maintenance of their boats. The panoramic view from the tower facilitated communication with the managers present in the Porto Torres tower.
