Torre delle Mandre, Coastal watchtower on Capo Crosso, between Altavilla Milicia and Trabia, Italy

Torre delle Mandre, also called torre Normanna, is a coastal watchtower on Capo Crosso, on the border between Altavilla Milicia and Trabia. From its position the view runs from Capo Zafferano to the coast of Campofelice di Roccella. The privately owned structure is in good condition, with no worrying signs of architectural decay.

The structure was built during Sicily's Aragonese period and first appeared in written records in 1557. Afterward, it served as a defense post against pirates from the Maghreb region.

Locals call it torre Normanna, though the name is misleading: the tower is Aragonese, not Norman. It appears in a scene of Il 7 e l'8, the film by Palermo comedians Ficarra and Picone, who shot on the tower and the surrounding area.

The tower stands on Capo Crosso, on the border between Altavilla Milicia and Trabia, and is privately owned, so it can only be viewed from outside. It is reached by road from Altavilla Milicia; the sources give no motorway number or rail link. The spot looks toward Capo Zafferano and, in the other direction, the coast near Campofelice di Roccella.

The tower and the surrounding area appear in a scene of Il 7 e l'8, the 2007 film by the Palermo comedy duo Ficarra e Picone. The building is privately owned and in good condition, with no worrying signs of architectural decay.
