The property called Torre Castelluccia, is in the Municipality of Pulsano, close to the Salento coastline and Taranto. The tower, built in the XVI century, for its location, is ideally suited for redevelopment in a social and cultural structure.
S.P. 122, Litoranea Salentina Via delle Magnolie - 74026 Pulsano (TA) The building known as “Torre Castelluccia”, was a watchtower built as part of the coastal defence network in the vice royal period. The area is of great archaeological interest, such as the remains of a Terramare prehistoric village of the Mycenaea period (3000-1800 BC) and, probably, an earlier Roman outpost. The rectangular shaped building has three floors above ground with a covered surface of 213 m², and is surrounded by an external area of 8,594 m². The property can be used for social and cultural activities, linked to the tourist information services and to promote the woodland and archeological area, due to its location along the Salento coastline.
The property is located along the coastline in the Municipality of Pulsano (11,311 inhabitants), in Bosco Caggione – Torre Castelluccia headland, 16 km from the centre of Taranto (201,100 inhabitants). The sea facing building, close to the Bay of Lido Silvana, is separated from the sea by the SP 122 provincial road (Salentina), one of the main coast roads running for 146 km, connecting the seaside resorts of the provinces of Taranto and Lecce, on the Ionian coast. The area is 18 km from the “Marcello Arlotta” airport in Taranto-Grottaglie, which does not currently have civilian flights. The closest civilian airports are the “Karol Wojtyla” international airport in Bari-Palese and the “Papola Casale” airport in Brindisi. The motorway exit of the A-14 motorway (Bologna-Taranto), reached with the Appia state road, is 18 km from the area. The property is 120 km from Bari, 68 km from Brindisi, 80 km from Lecce and 83 km from the beautiful seaside resort of Gallipoli. The Taranto railway station, with connections to the other cities of Puglia and the rest of Italy, is 27 km km away. The city boasts a large port infrastructure: the commercial port “Molo San Cataldo”, one of the most important Italian ports in terms of freight traffic, is strategically located on the northern coast of the gulf with the same name. The tourist port, located in the Molo Sant’Egidio, in the Borgo Antico area close to the Mar Grande, and has 254 berths for boats with draught up to 10 metres and length up to 50 metres and a car park for 150 vehicles.
