Minerva Tower rises majestically on Punta della Campanella, the extreme tip of the Sorrento Peninsula. It extends toward the island of Capri, to which it was once connected.

The tower was built in 1334 on the initiative of Roberto d’Angiò, King of Naples, as an initial measure against the growing threat of pirate raids. Together with its lighthouse, it underwent renovation and consolidation works over time. But despite its stunning natural setting and significant history, the tower now lies abandoned.

Participants in this competition were asked to reuse the watchtower as an artist residency that provides accommodation for individuals and groups to develop performances and create art while being surrounded by the sea.
