Torre di Mola is the most prominent remnant of the medieval fortified complex built by the sea. Its cylindrical mass dominates the district of the same name and tells a different story from that of Roman Formia, linked to coastal defense and the history of the Kingdom of Naples.

The urban and port setting makes the tower a natural stop during a walk in Mola. The interior spaces are not always accessible: the Municipality's website is the correct reference to check for any openings.
