Torre del Porto, Medieval watchtower in Porto Torres, Italy
The Torre del Porto stands as a stone fortification near the harbor, featuring defensive walls and architectural elements from the 14th century.
Construction of the tower began in 1325 during a period when coastal settlements required protection from maritime attacks and invasions.
The Italian government recognizes Torre del Porto as a national heritage site, preserving it as a testament to medieval military architecture.
Located in Piazza Cristoforo Colombo, the tower remains open for visits and provides views across the Gulf of Asinara.
The structure maintains its original defensive features, including thick stone walls and strategic positioning for monitoring maritime traffic.
