Summary

Description
Italiano: Torre Mezzapraia di Curinga è una torre di avvistamento e difesa costiera facente parte del sistema difensivo del Regno di Napoli in atto durante il Periodo Aragonese. Costruite in diversi punti strategici lungo tutta la dorsale costiera della Calabria, le torri rappresentavano un efficace strumento di comunicazione: in caso di avvistamento del nemico, veniva acceso un fuoco segnaletico permettendo alla popolazione locale di correre ai ripari mentre, di torre in torre, il segnale di pericolo veniva diffuso in tutto il Regno.
English: Torre Mezzapraia of Curinga is a coastal tower which is part of the defensive system of the Kingdom of Naples underway during the Aragonese Period. Built at different strategic points along the entire Calabria coastal ridge, the towers represented an effective communication tool: in the event of an enemy sighting, a signal fire was lit allowing the local population to run for cover while, from tower to tower, the danger signal was spread throughout the Kingdom.
