Torre Astura, Medieval coastal tower in Nettuno, Italy
A stone fortress rises from a peninsula at the southeastern end of the Bay of Antium, connected to land by a narrow causeway.
The Frangipani family constructed the tower in 1268 over Roman villa ruins, later transferring ownership to the Colonna family in 1426.
The site preserves architectural elements from multiple periods, combining Roman foundations with medieval defensive structures and Renaissance modifications.
Access to Torre Astura requires coordination with local authorities due to its location near a military facility and restricted coastal areas.
Submerged remnants of ancient Roman structures remain visible beneath the water surrounding the peninsula during clear weather conditions.
