Torre del Grillo, Medieval tower in Monti district, Rome, Italy.
The Torre del Grillo rises with a square foundation measuring 10.5 by 9.5 meters and reaches a height of 50 meters in central Rome.
The tower served as a strategic base for Henry VII of Luxembourg during his coronation as Holy Roman Emperor in the early 14th century.
Raphael documented the tower as an example of medieval architecture that incorporated reused materials from earlier Roman structures.
The tower stands between Trajan's Market and the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, making it accessible from multiple directions.
An earthquake in 1348 caused the removal of two upper floors and created a slight tilt in the tower's structure.
