Torre Bruciata, Roman tower in Piazza Sant'Anna, Teramo, Italy.
The Torre Bruciata stands 10 meters tall with 1.30-meter thick walls, constructed from precisely cut travertine blocks in a square base configuration.
The tower received its name 'Bruciata' following the devastating fire of 1156 caused by Roberto II di Bassavilla during conflicts with King William I of Palermo.
The structure represents Roman engineering excellence through its opus quadratum construction technique, which characterized important buildings of the ancient period.
Located in central Teramo at Piazza Sant'Anna near the Ancient Cathedral of Santa Maria Aprutiensis, the tower remains accessible for public viewing.
The travertine stone tower incorporates dual functionalities, serving both as a defensive fortification and a bell tower for the adjacent cathedral.
