The story of Torre Vado:
Torre Vado is developed,year after year,around a
Saracen tower of the’500.The Spanish has built
fortifications from Naples to S.Maria di Leuca to
the Abruzzi to defend their country against the
Turkish and the Saracens landings.This tower gaved
the name to the locality;there aren’t documents that
can explain the etymology of the place-name.
The most accredited interpretations remembered the
Latin origin from “vadum=guado” thanks to the
existence of a little natural landing-place placed
at the foot of the tower;on the contrary a Spanish
interpretation let derive the name from “ovado”
because of the notefishiness of the marine
sounding-depth.

sloping towards the sea;beautiful his landscape sill
secure of men’s devastated intervention;beautiful
