Torre Isulidda

Torre Isulidda is one of the coastal watchtowers, part of the circuit designed in 1583 by the Florentine architect Camillo Camilliani, who was entrusted with building a system of towers to defend against the pirates that infested the Mediterranean causing massacres, plunder and destruction.

Like all the other Camilliani towers it has a square plan with a powerful embankment at the base meant to hold the cistern and the ammunition store; a square room divided into two spaces for the tower guards is on the first floor. On the terrace the artillery pieces were placed and the signals (fani) were made with smoke and fire.
