The Tower The Tower of Marmora is a surveillance tower built in the late 1500s, as part of Charles V?s fortification of Sicily. Tensions in the Mediterranean, due to escalating raids and piracy by the Turks, convinced the Spanish monarch to reinforce the military defence in Sicily to obstruct any enemy activities. The tower was constructed on the eve of Sicily?s revolt against Spain, in the marvellous terrain that has forever been defined as ??the crossroads of the greatest ancient civilisations.?? The ideal place for a tranquil and relaxing break, where the pace of life slows to a Mediterranean serenity.
