Torre Olevola, Medieval tower in San Felice Circeo, Italy.
Torre Olevola stands at 13 meters tall with a rectangular base of 9 by 7 meters, featuring two levels with vaulted ceilings and an observation platform.
Built near the Olevola river mouth in 1469, the tower underwent reconstruction in 1703 under Pope Clement XI as part of the coastal defense system.
The tower appears on a 1514 map attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, depicting areas targeted for land reclamation during Pope Leo X's papacy.
Visitors can access the tower via Via Castelli and explore both levels while viewing the Mediterranean coastline from Caprolace to Asturi.
The structure's position at Mount Cercello's base provided essential protection for ships seeking refuge from corsair attacks in the 17th century.
