 After waves of Turkish barbarian incursions and attacks during the early 1500’s, the Viceroy of Sicily decided, in 1584, to employ Florentine Camillo Casigliani to design a series of coastal fortifications in the form of 150 watch towers along the island’s coast. During the day they would alert neighbouring towers and towns of impending attacks by flashing mirrors, and at night, via fireworks. The plans would see residents abandon their towns for the relative safety of the island’s interior.

-The watch tower at Marausa was built in the 16th century and was originally called “la Torre di Santo Stefano di Alca Grossa" (St. Stephen's Tower of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Auk Great Auk]) – because it overlooked the shallow archipelago then home to the (now extinct) bird that is known to have migrated in winter to this part of the Mediterranean in both the 15th and 17th centuries. The tower became known locally as ‘la Torre di Mezzo’ (the Middle Tower) because of its geographical position between the Towers at Nubia and San Teodoro.
+The watch tower at Marausa was built in the 16th century and was originally called “la Torre di Santo Stefano di Alca Grossa" (St. Stephen's Tower of Alca Grossa) – because it overlooked the shallow archipelago characterised at the time by the large sanddunes and mounds of algae (seaweed). After becoming operational in 1611 AD, the tower became known locally as ‘la Torre di Mezzo’ (the Middle Tower) because of its geographical position between the Towers at Nubia and San Teodoro.
-In 1619, the Torre di Mezzo was the first tower to become operational. After a period of disuse in the 20th century, it once more became operational under first the German, then Allied command during World War II. The Guardia di Finanza (Customs & Excise) took up residence for a few years after the war ended, but the tower fell into disrepair in the early 1970s.

 In the early 1990s la Torre di Mezzo was restored and opened varyingly for brief periods as a local museum, art gallery and cultural information point. Since 1989, a summer stage has been occasionally erected alongside the tower, with local bands and drama groups offering entertainment in summer evenings.
