Ancient Saracen tower

South Sardinia.

The tower was built in 1500 to defend a nearby tuna fish factory from the raids of the Moors.

 

(See other similar towers in my album "Sardinia coastal towers" you find in this page below at right.)

 

The pool you see in foreground is a Carthaginian quarry which the waves filled with water.
