Torre dell'Isola Rossa, 16th century defensive tower in Isola Rossa, Italy.
The red granite tower rises 11.5 meters high on a circular base measuring 14 meters in diameter at the top of a rocky hill.
Built in 1572, the tower provided protection against Saracen pirates and later served to control maritime traffic between Sardinia and Corsica.
The tower represents a crucial element of the Mediterranean coastal defense network, reflecting the military engineering techniques of Renaissance Italy.
Located at coordinates 41.01475 latitude and 8.872812 longitude, the tower features a single entrance at 5 meters height with a panoramic terrace.
In 1671, the tower became the site of a notable capture when nobleman Jacopo Artaldo di Castelvì was seized following the decapitation of his companions.
