| Description |
Italiano: : La Torre di Vada risalente al 1279 fu edificata dal Comune di Pisa, nel cui sistema portuale Vada era saldamente inserita, con la duplice funzione di vigilanza e di faro di supporto ai naviganti in un tratto di mare particolarmente insidioso. Alla fine del XV° secolo fu restaurata dal governo fiorentino, con un assetto politico del territorio completamente cambiato, fu un efficiente sistema di difesa costiero del nuovo stato regionale. Con altre torri l'intera costa toscana era totalmente controllata in special modo i convogli in arrivo ed in partenza, evitando al governo mediceo le spese di allestimento di una flotta. La Torre era circondata da un fossato comunicante con il mare. A fine 800 perse la sua funzione di controllo, e ad oggi la Torre del Faro è adibita a laboratorio di educazione ambientale.
English: The Torre di Vada dating back to 1279 was built by the Municipality of Pisa, in whose port system Vada was firmly inserted, with the dual function of surveillance and lighthouse to support mariners in a particularly insidious stretch of sea. At the end of the 15th century it was restored by the Florentine government, with a political structure of the territory completely changed, it was an efficient coastal defense system of the new regional state. With other towers, the entire Tuscan coast was totally controlled, especially the convoys arriving and departing, avoiding the Medici government the costs of setting up a fleet. The tower was surrounded by a moat communicating with the sea. At the end of the 19th century it lost its control function, and today the Torre del Faro is used as an environmental education laboratory. |
