Eagle tower, Medieval tower in Castello del Buonconsiglio, Trento, Italy.
The Eagle Tower features an ornate fresco cycle depicting the months of the year across its second-floor walls with detailed architectural elements.
Prince-Bishop George of Liechtenstein transformed the tower at the end of the 14th century, raising its height and modifying the city-facing side.
The frescoes within the tower document the daily activities of nobles and peasants throughout the seasons in medieval Trentino society.
The tower is accessible through a walkway along the eastern walls of Castello del Buonconsiglio, with guided tours available for visitors.
The January fresco panel shows a detailed representation of Stenico Castle in winter, with nobles engaged in snowball fights.
