Torre San Leonardo, Coastal tower in Ostuni, Italy.
Torre San Leonardo stands on the Adriatic coastline with solid stone walls rising from the rocky shoreline near white-washed buildings of Ostuni.
The structure was constructed during the Kingdom of Naples period as part of an extensive network of defensive towers protecting the coast from sea invasions.
The tower forms an integral component of the Coastal Towers in Salento, representing the military architecture that shaped the Italian coastal landscape.
Visitors can reach the tower by following the coastal road from Ostuni, with designated parking areas available near Via della Torre.
The tower contains original signal fire platforms that communicated with Torre Canne and Torre Villanova through a sophisticated medieval warning system.
