Sant'Angelo tower, Norman watchtower in Lido Sant'Angelo, Corigliano-Rossano, Italy
The star-shaped tower stands 150 meters from the Ionian Sea, featuring four diamond-pointed bastions and walls up to 3 meters thick.
Built in 1543 using materials from the ancient Thurium arsenal, the tower protected the coast from Saracen raids under King Ferrante d'Aragona's rule.
The tower holds summer art exhibitions and theatrical performances, serving as a central venue for local cultural activities since its 1990s restoration.
Located at Viale Jonio 67 in Rossano, the tower opens for guided tours through the Pro Loco Corigliano-Rossano association.
The structure contains a central well that spans two levels, originally providing water supply and internal communication between floors.
