Torre Mattoni, Coastal tower in Marina di Ginosa, Italy.
The square stone watchtower stands near Lake Salinella, featuring typical 16th-century military architecture with thick walls and strategic observation points.
Built during the 1500s, Torre Mattoni formed part of a defensive network along the Ionian coast to protect against Turkish naval invasions.
The tower represents an essential element of the maritime defense system that influenced the development of settlements along the Apulian coastline.
Located in the western section of Marina di Ginosa, the tower remains accessible through paths near the Torreserena vacation complex.
The structure sits within a protected natural area that includes coastal pine forests and serves as a habitat for migratory birds.
