  • Cover photo description:
  • It is said that in the 14th century, Count Gualtiero di Brienne decided to build a fortified citadel in this place, attracted by the happiness of its geographic location, and named it Roche, hence Roca, to which the Tower of Maradico also belonged, another name for the Old Roca Tower, so named because of the marshes that still surround it, making it an unhealthy area. Built in 1568 by master Tommaso Garrapa, when the medieval town was already in ruins, it has a square base and a truncated pyramidal shape, typical of the period of the Spanish viceroyalty. It communicates to the north with Torre San Foca and to the south with Torre dell`Orso, and in 1576 Antonio Tamiano, procurator of the University of Roca, equipped it with a one-pound musket, received from the mayor of Lecce. The tower 40°17?18?N 18°25?40?E is currently in very poor condition. The only room in the tower is missing two walls and part of the roof, while the limestone material that constitutes it is heavily deteriorated.
