The Masseria Torre Coccaro was originally an old watchtower which became fortified following centuries of Saracen attacks. Look out for the little spy-windows which helped to spot potential incursions by Turkish pirates.
The masseria subsequently became a working farm and small village. You can still find the chapel and workers houses near the courtyard.
