About this activity
The Tower was comprised, presumably, of three rooms with irregular stone paving, covered by a vaulted ceiling supported by a central column; latorre.jpgit is also possible to presume the existence of a wooden mezzanine. The Tower features a cistern (now clearly visible thanks to the restoration works) for the collection of rainwater, supplied by a canal (also visible) carved into the wall. A walkway protected by sidewalls permitted easy access around the top of the surrounding walls.

The central construction was surrounded by a perimeter wall (still visible in some areas) that extended towards the north, turning towards the east to return to the Tower.

Ancient residents of Santa Teresa Gallura recall the existence of a subterranean passage that arrived at the coast, cemented over following the construction of the sewage network.

The Tower, demilitarised like many others in 1867, became a playground for local children who challenged one another to climb down a rope into the cistern or climb up the tower.

The monument, renovated and re-valorised by the Azienda Autonoma di Soggiorno e Turismo of Santa Teresa Gallura, now stands as the image of the area’s history and culture.
