Linguella Tower

Italy / Toscana / Portoferraio / Località La Linguella
Thanks to is hexagonal shape, you will recognise the Martello Tower or Linguella Tower, a perfect example of military defence for the port, as soon as you enter the port of Portoferraio. A long, heavy chain went from the Linguella Tower as far as the Gallo Tower, acting as a military defence no one could get past. In the 17th century, on the Grand Duke Ferdinand ll's request, the ramparts next to it that looked onto the sea and the docks, were reinforced. The San Francesco rampart and the sentry box with the Lorraine cross on top were rebuilt after their destruction during the war.www.infoelba.com/
