Torre delle Mandre

Torre delle Mandre stands as a stone structure on an elevated position between Altavilla Milicia and Trabia territories, offering views of the Sicilian coastline.

Built during the Aragonese period in Sicily, the tower received its first documented mention in 1557 and served as a defense post against Maghreb pirates.

The tower represents the defensive architecture of medieval Sicily, forming part of a network of coastal watchtowers that protected local communities.

The tower location allows visitors to reach it by car via the A20 motorway or by train from Palermo, with the nearest station one kilometer from the center.

The structure extends across two different territories and maintains its original architectural features despite multiple restorations over the centuries.
