Torre Astura

Torre Astura was built at the end of the twelfth century by the locals, the Frangipans. The maritime fortress, in addition to its first owners, passed into the hands of many other people, who also changed its appearance, to get to what we see today. For many years he did not have the attention of travelers, being a poor place full of peasants and robbers, what changed over the years.
