SARACEN TOWER of 1400 used FOR THE COASTAL DEFENSE SYSTEM
Construction developed on 5 floors with adjoining land, frontal sea view, unique in its kind, you will seem to be at sea. To reach it upstream of the church, take the "Salita al campetto" and then turn left: after passing the Bacciaro stream, you will come across an ancient building called the "Tower called Saracena". It is part of the defensive system aimed at facing the enemy threats coming from the sea, made up above all by the ships of the Barbary pirates who set sail from the coasts of North Africa, mainly from Algeria and Tunisia, which since the High Middle Ages sailed the Mediterranean Sea at search for loot and new conquests. The frequency of pirate raids along the coasts of Liguria, and beyond, became particularly intense in the sixteenth century when the construction of watchtowers and signaling towers and, in some cases, small forts began. In this context there is the Saracen Tower of which the artifact is sold and who can afford to buy even its unique story. How many people can boast of being the owners of a Torre Saracena with a large surrounding land of about 4,000 square meters. Olive grove from which a unique oil is obtained by location.
