Torre di Santa Lucia, Coastal defense tower in Siniscola, Italy
The Torre di Santa Lucia rises 10 meters high with an 11-meter diameter base, constructed entirely from local granite in a truncated cone shape.
Built between 1605 and 1607, the tower served as a strategic observation point, maintaining communication with the nearby Torre di San Giovanni for enemy detection.
The tower stands as a testament to Sardinia's maritime defense system, which protected coastal communities from frequent raids during the 16th and 17th centuries.
Current access to Torre di Santa Lucia is limited to exterior viewing, as the interior remains closed pending restoration work funded by Siniscola municipality.
The tower's position along the Sardinian coastline provided a clear line of sight to two planned observation posts at Capo Comino and Capo Coda Cavallo.
