Coastal Watchtowers / Torre Vado - Morciano di Leuca (LE)

Vado tower

"Vado" derives from the Latin "vadum" (ford), the coast is easily accessible by sea, or according to another hypothesis, from the Spanish "ovado", that is, the place where the fish layed eggs. In a publication of 1619, however, it appears with the name "Tower Mattefante". The tower is located on the coast just a few meters from the sea and is currently surrounded by some buildings built in more recent times. The circular tower is built on two floors, with windows and crenels at the top.
