Torre Specchiolla

Casalabate - Squinzano-Trepuzzi

Torre Specchiolla is a coastal tower in Salento located in the municipality of Squinzano, in Casalabate a few kilometres from Lecce. The tower dates back to the 16th century and was built by the Spaniards to defend the coast from Saracen pirates; Torre Specchiolla communicated to the south with Torre Rinalda and to the north with Torre San Gennaro, now completely disappeared. This beautiful example of a 16th-century tower, which stands just a few steps away from the beautiful Adriatic Sea, has recently been restored and is an imposing structure with a quadrangular plan, with a wide base that narrows towards the top, culminating in a panoramic terrace. Inside, the tower was divided into two floors, where the ground floor most likely served as a cistern, while the first floor housed the soldiers on guard duty. Today, Torre Specchiolla is privately owned and acts as a constant sentinel to the entire surrounding landscape with its historical and architectural value. The panoramic view from the top of the tower allows you to admire the splendid Salento coastline and the crystal-clear sea, making this place an excellent destination for nature and history lovers. Enjoy your summer at Casalabate.
