Torre Alba, Coastal watchtower in Terrasini, Italy
Torre Alba stands on a red marl cliff along the Lungomare Peppino Impastato, featuring a square base and crenellated terrace supported by corbels.
Constructed in 1589, Torre Alba served as part of an extensive network of defensive towers built throughout Sicily to protect against maritime invasions.
Since 2007, the tower has opened its doors to the public, transforming into a venue for social gatherings, cultural exhibitions, and wedding celebrations.
Visitors can reach Torre Alba through the main roads of Terrasini, with various restaurants and cafes located in close proximity to the structure.
The tower's first floor contains a barrel vault ceiling measuring 8 meters on each side, with windows opening on three sides of the structure.
