Castelluccia tower
Located in the Bosco Caggione in the district of Marina di Pulsano, on a promontory overlooking the beautiful beach of Lido Silvana, the tower is 22 km from Taranto and 6 km from Pulsano. It was built by the Spaniards in the 1500s to defend the area against Saracen attacks, it is part of a defensive complex divided into 14 towers located on the east coast, very few survived. Near the tower were found remains of a fishing village of the final Bronze Age (11th-10th century BC) with defensive walls on the promontory, where remains of rectangular rooms were found. Nearby, bunkers in reinforced concrete along the coast during the world wars.
