Torre Clementina

The Clementine Tower or the so-called Watchtower dates back to 1716 by Pope Clement XI. It served to protect and guard against the phenomenon of pirate banditism. It stands in Portonovo, which is a hamlet of the municipality of Ancona erected in a strategic position. After the Unification of Italy, the Clementine tower became the property of the De Bosis family. The building has special decorative architectural elements, typical of noble residences. Today it is possible to admire it.
