Torre Marica, Medieval watchtower in Isola del Liri, Italy
Torre Marica rises on the San Sebastiano hill with a circular base of five meters and features six rectangular openings with stone thresholds.
The defensive tower was constructed in the 11th century by the lords of the Sora county to monitor activities in the lower Liri valley.
The tower bears the name of Marica, an ancient Italic deity of waters and marshlands, reflecting the deep connection with local mythology.
The tower underwent restoration work in 2020 to strengthen its structure and improve safety measures for visitors to the site.
Torre Marica maintained visual communication with the Fullonica tower of Carnello, forming part of a medieval surveillance network.
