Torre Mozza

⭐ 8.8

A long golden beach on the Ionian coast, guarded by a 16th-century tower.

The tower, originally called Torre dei Fiumi or Fiumicelli, dates back to 1565 according to Italian sources. It served as a lookout for Saracen pirates: a bonfire at the top of the tower was used to warn other coastal towers and inland farms. It collapsed shortly after construction and was rebuilt; further partial collapses earned it the name Torre Mozza, the “truncated tower.” Around the beach, you will find dunes, pine forests, and Mediterranean scrub. It is included on the 2026 Blue Flag list.

À PROPOS DE Torre Mozza

Torre Mozza is a quiet seaside resort on the Ionian coast, in the municipality of Ugento. Its beach stretches for miles: fine golden sand and a shallow seabed that slopes gently into clear water, making it a great choice for families. Long stretches of public beach alternate with equipped lidos where you can rent umbrellas and sun loungers. The 16th-century watchtower, a landmark right on the sand, gave the place its name.

The tower, originally called Torre dei Fiumi or Fiumicelli, dates back to 1565 according to Italian sources. It served as a lookout for Saracen pirates: a bonfire at the top of the tower was used to warn other coastal towers and inland farms. It collapsed shortly after construction and was rebuilt; further partial collapses earned it the name Torre Mozza, the “truncated tower.” Around the beach, you will find dunes, pine forests, and Mediterranean scrub.
