The coastal landscape of Tiggiano is dominated by the fifteenth century Torre Nasparo, a tower placed at the top of a rocky spur at 130 meters above the sea level.
The military structure is part of the alert system of the coastal towers situated in the Province of   Terra d’Otranto. It was built in 1565 on the orders of Duke d’Alcalà, Viceroy of the Kingdom of Naples.
In the past, it communicated with Torre Palane, situated on the coast of Marina Serra near Tricase and with Torre Specchia Grande, situated on the Serre of Corsano.
