Torre Mozza, Coastal defensive tower in Piombino, Italy.

The three-part stone structure stands near the shoreline, featuring a square base and additional architectural elements added over centuries.

The Appiani family commissioned the tower around 1500 to monitor mineral-laden ships from Elba Island and protect against Saracen pirate invasions.

The tower exemplifies the network of Renaissance coastal fortifications that defined the military architecture of the Tuscan Grand Duchy.

The tower has transformed into an upscale hotel establishment following extensive renovations completed in 2015, offering accommodations by the sea.

A submerged reef parallel to the coast creates a natural pool in the sea about 10 meters from the shoreline.
