Salento, Torre Castiglione - Porto Cesareo: Nestled in the Mediterranean bush and somewhat isolated from the inhabited area, one can glimpse on the tip of a cliff what remains of Castiglione Tower. The reasons for the collapse can most likely be attributed to karst activity in the area; in fact, the cliff itself is full of spunnulate due to subsidence of the underlying soil. The ruin of the tower is small in size and square in shape and falls within the fief of Nardò. From the tower"s vantage point, one can see not only the beaches of Torre Castiglione but also the beautiful surrounding Mediterranean scrubland. The tower served as a lookout point and was located between torre Lapillo to the south and torre Colimena to the north.
