Title
Torrione Passeri
The huge cylindrical tower is what remains of the ancient wall that protected the city from incursions by sea. Built for the first time in 1515, it was entirely rebuilt with more massive walls and a beeswax cornice. Since 2003 it has been part of Molfetta’s historical and cultural heritage.
