The Ruins of the Torre Scola (Patreon)

The Torre Scola ("Scola Tower") is a ruined tower off the coast of La Spezia, Italy. Built in the 1600s, it was heavily damaged during the Napoleonic Wars, then later used for target practice by the Italian Navy in the early 1900s.

Personally, I think the historical value of this place should've been enough to keep people from pounding it with naval guns. But even if we ignore that-- even if we say, "It's fine, there's no shortage of old stuff in Italy and it's not like this is the Colosseum," there's still one more important thing to consider: THIS THING IS ONLY 200 METERS OFF THE COAST. So, you know, try not to miss. No pressure.

Anyway, I'm going to make a non-island version of this map as well, which should be done later tonight. So I'll be back with that in a bit and we'll talk about what's next.
