Palascia tower

Palascia tower was a watchtower situated on the Salento's coast at Capo d'Otranto, easternmost point in Italy. It was built by Charles V's militaries due to the greatly strategic spot, around 1560, to face the dangers coming from the sea. Once the Turkish threat was gone, the tower was abandoned and in a few decades it has become nothing more than a ruin. It was completely razed to the ground to make space for the construction of the lighthouse, in 1869.
