Marine protected area of Torre del Cerrano, Marine protected area in Province of Teramo, Italy.
Torre del Cerrano extends across 7 kilometers of Adriatic coastline, featuring sandy dunes, rocky formations, and underwater structures supporting marine life.
The Italian Ministry of Environment established Torre del Cerrano in 2009, designating 3,431 hectares of marine territory for conservation and research purposes.
The area takes its name from the 1568 defensive tower, which protected the Kingdom of Naples against maritime invasions along the Adriatic coast.
The protected zone spans three nautical miles from shore between Pineto and Silvi municipalities, offering educational programs and guided tours for visitors.
Local landowner Luigi Corrado Filiani created a coastal pinewood forest in the early 1900s to restore an area damaged by timber exploitation.
