Torre dello Sperone

The Torre dello Sperone is a medieval structure in Cagliari's historic Stampace district on Sardinia. Built by the Pisans from white limestone in the thirteenth century, it was part of the city's fortifications. A Latin inscription on the facade records its completion in March 1293, during the term of the Capitano del Popolo, Alberti. The tower embodies the city's military history and offers visitors a glimpse into the architectural development of Sardinia's coastal fortresses in that era.
