Torre Palane, Renaissance watchtower in Marina Serra, Italy
Torre Palane stands as a quadrangular structure with two floors divided by a curb, featuring corbels around its central upper section.
The tower, operational since 1569, formed part of a defense network against Saracen pirates threatening the Salento coast during the 16th century.
The tower represents the architectural evolution of coastal fortifications, demonstrating the military engineering capabilities of Renaissance builders in southern Italy.
Located at coordinates 39°54'46"N, 18°23'39"E, the tower provides access to natural pools and coastal paths along the Adriatic Sea.
Torre Palane maintains communication lines with Torre del Porto di Tricase to the north and Torre Nasparo to the south through its strategic positioning.
