The Appiani Tower (Italian: Torre degli Appiani), also known as Torre dello Sparviero, stands on the islet of Sparviero, in the village of Punta Ala, a frazione of Castiglione della Pescaia, in the province of Grosseto in Tuscany. The watchtower was built in the Middle Ages, later becoming one of the fundamental fortifications of the defensive system of the Principality of Piombino. In 1561, the Appiani family decided to rebuild it, as the defensive structure was in precarious condition.
