Torre Mozza in Tuscany
There are two locations of the same name in Italy: Torre Mozza in Salento and Torre Mozza in Riotorto.
In addition to their names, what characterises them is a clear although different sea, since one is the sea of Puglia and the other is the sea of Tuscany.
Why is it called Torre Mozza?
Returning to our Torre Mozza, the one in Tuscany, the name derives from the presence of a tower that is cut off at the top.
The tower, erected by the Appiani lords of Piombino around 1500, consists of three parts built at different times. The purpose of this defensive structure was to guard against the arrival of ore from the Island of Elba. The ancient watchtower is the part of the building with a square shape looking towards the sea. This type of shape characterises most coastal towers of the time.
A new wing was built on the opposite side facing the hills and later a small building was added to it.
Finally, a staircase was created on the middle part of the supporting structure, connecting the various levels of the tower.
Today Torre Mozza has become a luxury resort directly on the beach.
What is the sea like at Torre Mozza?
To this question there is only one answer: sublime. The sea on this stretch of the Tyrrhenian coast is particularly clear, with a sandy seabed that lays on a golden beach. Don’t believe it? Take a look at our webcam and you will be amazed.
Torre Mozza beach divides Follonica and Piombino, at least by land, because by sea it is a continuum of beauty.
How do you get to Torre Mozza in Tuscany?
Answering this question is even easier. Whether you are coming from the north or the south, just take the Aurelia variant and exit at Vignale Riotorto, after a few kilometres you will reach one of the most beautiful beaches in central Tuscany.
What to do in and around Torre Mozza?
The best thing to do around here is to relax on the beach and enjoy the benefits of the sea. When you are tired, if you have booked with us, you can relax and enjoy yourself in our Camping Village, or you can opt for an evening or afternoon in one of the neighbouring towns such as Follonica, Piombino or San Vincenzo.
Torre Mozza in Tuscany, a curiosity
A few years ago, an article appeared in the newspaper ‘La Nazione’ about the ghost of Torre Mozza. Some people swear they have seen or heard it, or rather seen or heard it, since it seems that this ghost appears in the form of a beautiful brunette lady, dressed in old clothes! Some claim that when the sun goes down, the beautiful lady looks out of the tower windows, constantly changing position.
Unfortunately, for now it seems almost impossible to tell who the beautiful lady is, but we hope that she lives there quietly, without terrorising the many guests who frequent this stretch of coastline during the summer.
