Minareto di Fasano, Italian national heritage villa in Fasano, Italy
The Minareto di Fasano features Islamic-inspired architecture with terraces and a tall minaret tower overlooking the surrounding hills of Selva di Fasano.
Built in 1918 by nobleman Damaso Bianchi after his travels to Islamic countries, the construction involved workers and materials brought from Tunisia.
The villa served as a weaving school under Benedetta Tangari's direction, connecting Eastern culture with Valle d'Itria traditions through textile arts.
The Municipality of Fasano manages the property under a 99-year concession from the Puglia Region, offering spaces for exhibitions and cultural events.
During social gatherings, an acetylene lamp was lit at the top of the minaret tower, creating a beacon visible across the region.
