Abstract

The Santa Caterina tower in Nardò (Lecce, Italy) represents one of the many types of coastal towers of the ancient Terra d'Otranto province. It was part of the defensive system of the Ionian coast of Salento against the Turkish threat. The integrated geophysical prospections are part of the analysis of the tower about constructive elements, wall discontinuities, functional modification in order to understand the phases and the change of the structure over the centuries. The information collected will be useful for a restoration project finalized to recover a building abandoned for years.
