Torre di Calafuria, Coastal watchtower in Livorno, Italy.
The Torre di Calafuria stands 20 meters tall with a square base and features a projecting walkway at its summit with a four-sided sloping roof.
Built during the 16th century, this tower formed part of an extensive defensive network protecting the Tuscan coastline from maritime threats and pirate invasions.
The tower gained recognition in Italian cinema, appearing in notable films including Il Sorpasso from 1962 and La Pazza Gioia from 2016.
Located between Antignano and Quercianella districts along the Aurelia road, the tower sits near a modern concrete bridge constructed after World War II.
The upper balcony of Torre di Calafuria serves as a nesting site for a protected colony of pallid swifts, birds that typically nest on flat surfaces.
