Torre normanna, Norman military tower in Tricarico, Italy.
The Torre Normanna stands 27 meters tall with walls exceeding 5 meters in thickness, featuring four distinct levels and defensive elements including battlements and drainage holes.
Built between the 9th and 10th centuries as part of a castle complex, the tower underwent modifications during the Norman-Swabian period in the 12th and 13th centuries.
The tower received national monument status in 1931 and remains a central architectural element of Tricarico alongside the cathedral and ducal palace.
Located in the Santa Croce district of Tricarico, visitors can reach the tower by following SS7 and then taking the Provincial Road Tricarico-Boccanera.
The tower summit contains a specific stone that, when stood upon, creates an echo effect similar to speaking inside a cavern.
