Torre di Abbacurrente, Defensive tower in Porto Torres, Italy
Torre di Abbacurrente rises 12.5 meters high with a conical shape and stands on a rocky ledge facing the Gulf of Asinara.
The defensive tower was constructed between 1571 and 1578 as part of a network protecting the Sardinian coastline through the Middle Ages.
The structure represents the architectural techniques of coastal fortifications, featuring a single circular room covered by a reinforced dome.
The entrance portal sits four meters above ground level, and visitors need to coordinate their visit through local authorities for access.
The tower maintained visual communication with other defensive structures, including the towers of Isola Piana and Trabucado across the coastline.
