Torre Calarossa, Coastal tower in San Nicandro Garganico, Italy.
Two remaining walls of Torre Calarossa stand on a cliff, positioned 50 meters from the waterline along the northern Gargano coastline.
The Spanish Viceroy Don Pedro di Toledo commissioned the construction of Torre Calarossa in 1569 as part of a defensive network for the Adriatic coast.
The name derives from the reddish color of the ferrite-rich rocks that characterize the surrounding coastal landscape of the Gargano region.
Visitors need to drive past Torre Mileto for 2.5 kilometers and then follow an unmarked uphill path, concluding with a 200-meter walk to reach the site.
The tower foundation incorporates natural karst channels that direct rainwater from Monte D'Elio toward the Adriatic Sea.
