Torre delle Saline

The Saline tower is a tower that is part of the complex of fortified structures that, from the early Middle Ages until the mid-nineteenth century, formed the defense, sighting and communication system of the coast of Sardinia. Belonging to the category of towers de armas, of heavy defense, it was at the time also an important garrison for the ancient tuna fisheries and salt pans, present since 1200 AD that were in the immediate vicinity. It is in visual contact with the towers of Porto Torres, Trabucado and Capo Falcone.
