Torre di Barì

The Torre di Barì rises on a rocky promontory between two sections of an 8-kilometer beach along the eastern coast of Sardinia.

Spanish builders constructed this coastal defense tower in 1571 as part of a network to protect Sardinian shores from Saracen pirate raids.

The beach sections near the tower reflect traditional gender separation, with the northern area called mari de is ominis and southern part mari de is feminas.

The tower contains a museum that displays local traditions, with admission fees of 3 euros for adults and 1.50 euros for children over eight years old.

The waters surrounding the tower feature oceanic posidonia plants that maintain exceptional water clarity, creating conditions for marine observation.
