Sperlonga. Watchtowers

At the center of the town of Sperlonga you can recognize a portion of the "Central Tower" or Major Tower which belonged to the system of sighting towers implanted in the sixteenth century.

Also part of the defensive system were the Torre del Nibbio, included in a baronial castle towards the central square of the town, and the Torre di Capovento 3 km south of the town. This was used as a customs house since 1820.
