Coastal towers in Salento
Salento is dotted with watchtowers sighting since always has been the subject of numerous attacks by different populations of the Mediterranean. We do not know what was the first time when these towers were built, some might even refer to Norman, but there is no supporting evidence. For the present appearance, most of the coastal towers still present are to report to the 15th and 16th century.
Many of these towers are now in very poor conditions.
This is the list in a clockwise direction from the province of Brindisi and culminating in the Province of Taranto.

gollark: FEAR machine learning. I am using a significant fraction of my server's computing power to do stupid things with some memes.
gollark: I'm ignoring the documentation and just blindly copypasting out the parts I need so that I don't have to ship the entire beeologous library.
gollark: ```pythondef transform(data, ops=None): """ transform """ if ops is None: ops = [] for op in ops: data = op(data) if data is None: return None return data```
gollark: Apparently this machine library has reinvented function composition somewhere within its data preprocessing pipelines>
gollark: I AM installing scikit_image, unlike certain beeoids.
