Torre Truglia, Coastal defense tower in Sperlonga, Italy.
Torre Truglia stands on a rocky promontory extending into the Tyrrhenian Sea, featuring thick stone walls and traditional Renaissance military architecture.
The tower was constructed in 1532 on Roman foundations, later destroyed by Ottoman pirates in 1534, and underwent complete reconstruction in 1611.
For nearly a century, from 1870 to 1969, the tower served as a strategic base for the Guardia di Finanza, Italy's financial and customs police force.
The tower sits 350 meters from Piazza Fontana and the main bus station, with access paths available both from the town center and beach level.
The structure now functions as part of the Marine Education Center within the Regional Natural Park Riviera d'Ulisse, offering views across the Mediterranean.
