Torre Sabea, Renaissance coastal defense tower in Gallipoli, Italy.
The square-shaped Torre Sabea stands on the Salento coast, featuring thick stone walls and multiple observation points for monitoring maritime activities.
Built around 1570, Torre Sabea formed part of an extensive network of watchtowers designed to protect the Salento region from naval invasions.
The tower holds the tale of Flavio and Florilanda, where two white seagulls symbolize their tragic love story that ended at the tower.
Located 500 meters north of Torre Sabea Agricamping site, the tower can be reached by following the coastal path from Gallipoli's historic center.
The tower maintains its original Renaissance architectural elements, including arrow slits and a restored bell system used for warning signals.
