Towers of the Sea in Maratea

The book explores minor fortifications, such as towers and castles, which, although they do not belong to major historical defensive systems, are essential for understanding the history of the landscape and architecture. Antonio Bixio, through a rigorous approach, studied coastal fortifications in Basilicata, along the Tyrrhenian coast of Maratea and the Ionian coast, highlighting the relationship between these structures and the surrounding territory. The author analyzes how these places, closely linked to nature, have a value that goes beyond functional aspects, telling the story and identity of the landscape. The work promotes research as a tool to enhance and preserve these sites, proposing new perspectives for the conservation of heritage.
