The Tedeschina Tower is located on the western side of the Castello district.

Built in the early 14th century, it was named after a group of German mercenaries that lived in the ancient stronghold of Castel di Castro.

Restored in 1376 after the siege of Marianus IV of Arborea, during the sixteenth century it was incorporated by Rocco Cappellino in the Concezione bastion. During these works, the tower, which originally was between 10 and 12 meters high, was lowered.

The bricks testify to the restoration works that took place over the centuries.

The Spanish Tower, also known as Torre di Mezza Spiaggia (Tower of half-beach), is located along the beach of Poetto, not far from the structure of the former Marine Hospital, in the Municipality of Cagliari.

Its construction dates back to the 16th century, when the Spaniards decided to fortify the entire coast of Sardinia to protect themselves from raids from the sea.

The other Towers are: the Poetto’s tower and the Saint Elia’s tower, on the Devil's Saddle, then westwards; while looking east we find the Tower of Carcangiolas (now reduced to ruin), and the Tower of Foxi, the Tower of Cala Regina and the Tower of Su Fenugu in the locality of Torre delle Stelle.

In the Spanish era, almost all of these towers, with clear skies, were easily visible from each other, making communication between them easy and timely in the event of attacks by raiders.

The structure of the Torre di Mezza Spiaggia is in limestone, truncated-conical in shape, with a height of about eight meters and a small terrace which was accessed from the inside.

The Tower Franca (or Tower Passarina), with its twin Tedeschina, closed the north front of Castello. Today it is visible, only partially, in Arsenale Square, on the right side of the Palace of the Seziate, and in Buoncammino Avenue, on the left, turning from Porta Cristina.

Built in the sixteenth century, it was used as a tower of ammunition but, in 1575, due to the modified defensive needs, it was lowered and absorbed, together with the Tedeschina, in the Bastion of the Conception; a curtain joined it to the Gate of the Capuchins (near the current Cristina’s Gate), giving rise to what would later become Arsenale Square.

Towards the end of the seventeenth century, the Palace of the Seziate was built in the space until then occupied by the curtain wall and, in 1839-40, the Palace, shortly before raised above one floor, ended up incorporating the tower, then renamed Torrione delle Seziate.

In the 1980s it was also the subject of the restoration that affected Arsenale Square, following which you can now access the interior of the Seziate curtain to admire the intact wall face of the tower.

The upper part of the tower now houses some offices of the BAPSAE Superintendency of the Provinces of Cagliari and Oristano.

Remaining part of a 14th century defensive structure, later partially incorporated into St. Lucy's church (15th century).
