Torre de la Penya

Torre della Pegna rises 200 meters above sea level on the Sardinian coast, featuring architectural elements typical of Spanish military fortifications.

The tower was constructed during the Spanish rule of Sardinia to protect the coastline from frequent pirate raids and maritime invasions.

The tower contains stone markers known as Omini di pietra placed at regular intervals, guiding visitors through the historical paths of Mediterranean defense structures.

The tower requires a two-hour hike from Capo Caccia along a coastal path, requiring sturdy shoes and sufficient water supplies for the journey.

The structure maintains its original position as a strategic observation point, enabling visitors to see the same maritime views guards monitored centuries ago.
