Torre Penna, Renaissance tower in Brindisi, Italy.
Torre Penna features brick and stone construction with strategic positioning on the Adriatic coast, serving as a military observation point near Brindisi airport.
During the 16th century, the Kingdom of Naples constructed Torre Penna as part of an extensive network of coastal watchtowers to monitor maritime threats.
The structure represents a prime example of Renaissance military architecture within the Municipal Natural Park of Brindisi at Punta Penne.
Visitors can reach Torre Penna through Via di Punta Penne, which provides direct access to this historical fortification near the Brindisi city center.
The tower marks the beginning of the Salentine coastal fortification sequence, preceding Torre Cavallo in the defensive network.
