Following the battle of Lepanto and the conquest of La Goleta, in the Mediterranean coasts, the Spanish Crown🇪🇦 and the Ottoman Empire🇹🇷 turned their attentions to each others ongoing pirate☠️ activity. This led to a perennial state of border insecurity and the Mediterranean States of the Spanish Crown forming a chain of coastal fortresses (in Naples, Sicily, Sardinia, Majorca, Valencia, Murcia, Granada and Catalonia), paid for by each state. The Sardinian coastal towers were erected from around 1570 at the behest of the Spanish Crown, as part of a defensive🧱 plan against the Saracen🏹 forays on the Sardinian coast that were causing great danger and loss of human life. Collectively the coastal towers represented an effective fixed defence system (providing spotting and signalling💡) that integrated with the mobile defence system of galleys. The locating of the towers in places with strategic vantage points📌 made them an effective means to control the territory. The positioning of the tower apertures confirms this role: the first aperture usually faced the coast and provided visual contact with the other towers in the vicinity; the second faced inland. Specifically, each armed🛡️ and manned tower was positioned for good visibility of the towers in front and behind it. This allowed the alarm to be communicated rapidly along the entire coast using audible and visual signals, when an enemy raids was sighted. Daytime signals were made using smoke🌪️; those at night by fire🔥. These were accompanied by fireworks to alert the cavalry and local villagers to deter the invading forces. Similar towers can be found all over Malta🇲🇹 as well! I simply love medieval architecture & the surrounding history! 😁👌 -- #BellaSardegna #bellasardegna☀️ #bellasardegna🇮🇹 #SardiniaExplained #AncientArchitecture #ItalianHistory #SpanishCrown #SpanishEmprire #OttomanEmpire #SaracenHistory #MedievalArchitecture #MediterraneanArchitecture #MediterraneanHistory #MedievalWatchtower #CoastalLiving #CoastalArchitecture #Watchtower #Lighthouse #Lighthouses #CoastalTowers #SardinianTales #SardinianHistory #Sardinian_History #HistoryIsAmazing #HistoryLessons (at Torre San Giovanni di Sarrala) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMglKH4pEss/?igshid=bgvcmqy9709o
