Torre Scalambri, Coastal watchtower in Punta Secca, Italy
Torre Scalambri stands as a stone fortification on the southern Sicilian coast, featuring thick walls and strategic positioning for surveillance purposes.
Built in 1593, the tower formed part of an interconnected defense system with Torre Vigliena and Torre di Mezzo to protect against maritime invasions.
The structure represents Mediterranean military engineering practices of the 16th century through its architectural design and coastal placement methods.
The tower location provides direct access to sandy beaches and remains visible from multiple points along the Punta Secca coastline.
Modern research teams use 3D laser scanning and GIS applications to document and study the tower's original geometric characteristics.
