Spiaggia di Torre Squillace, Public beach with historic tower in Nardò, Italy
The beach combines fine sand and pebbles, bordered by low cliffs and shallow emerald-green waters that gradually deepen toward the open sea.
Built between 1567 and 1570 by Pensino Tarantino, Torre Squillace served as a coastal watchtower to protect the area from pirate invasions.
The tower features a square base with pyramid-shaped walls, internal vaulted rooms, a well, and a fireplace, representing typical Spanish defensive architecture.
The beach provides essential services including a beach bar, restaurant, and comfortable facilities for visitors during summer months.
The location attracted musicians Lucio Battisti and Mogol, who found creative inspiration here while spending their holidays near the historical tower.
