BRICKS TOWER  
   

Among the so many done towers to erect from the viceroys along all the coasts of the Kingdom in Naples, in the ache succeeded attempt to embank the Turkish raids and corsairs coming from the sea, interesting it is Tower you Pave. I concern to the particular typology in which this tower could reenter,

they are not present in this building enough elements for a specific classification at least in the respects of the coastal towers of the solo Kingdom in Naples of census, for these zones owed to Fault (Fault, passim [1970-74-­75-78]), they have been in relief some affinities partial tipologiche, connected mainly to different and not adjoining coastal lines; but a conspicuous number of examples stays however not reentered here in none of the classifications until you operate: neither among the towers typical of the Kingdom, with shoe base and caditoie in varying number, neither completely among those of the area of Narḍ, to which Bircks Tower can have approached for form and dimensions. A more substantial approach, for manifold aspects, it is possible to do with big part of the towers in defense of the shore of the Lazio, made to erect in the same period from the State of the church (De Rossi 1974). Already for dimensions similar to a lot of of them, Bircks Tower is united you for the fundamental characteristic of the external covering in bricks; besides those that are the brackets of support of the caditoie in the towers of the lazio, in this they are reduced to few angular shelves, but of peer sizing and position, even if here they sustained with every probability advanced platforms of sighting. Far 300 meters from the sea, on a sandy dune in desert origin and reforested by a trentennio, Bircks Tower gives the immediate feeling of one the urine having in fact a width to the ground of mt. 13x13 and analogous height. You raises with a base flood for around halves the whole height, scarp up to the first one of the two towers in stone marapiano fungenti. From the entry to N-O to elevated quota, attainable with flying staircases, it is entered in a first vain plant of redoubts dimensions that it had functions of connection among the two floors of life, and of whose structures of slope nothing has remained. To the sides of this there are two places of a little greater while of forehead, toward sea, it is entered in the most greater environment, become vain only with the soprastante for the collapse of the time to intermediary barrel. There is to this first level an opening with height of man from the primitive floor in the wall to N-E, and so to the superior plan toward sea, together with 5 windows on three sides and a fireplace on the side S-O.
