Tower of Martinsicuro

The Tower of Martinsicuro stands at the mouth of the Tronto River, serving as a prominent landmark along the Adriatic coast of Abruzzo.

Built in 1547 as part of a defensive network, the tower protected local communities from pirate raids that threatened the Adriatic Sea coastline.

The structure represents a significant element of Italian coastal defense architecture and now functions as an archaeological museum displaying regional artifacts.

Visitors can access the tower throughout the year and combine their visit with walks on the adjacent beaches of the Teramo province.

The tower forms part of an extensive system of coastal fortifications in Abruzzo, marking the northernmost point of the regional defensive network.
