Torre dei Conti, Medieval tower in Rome, Italy.
This fortified tower near the Colosseum rises 29 meters high with thick stone walls and narrow windows characteristic of thirteenth-century defensive architecture.
Pope Innocent III commissioned this tower in 1238 as a fortified residence for his family, the Counts of Segni, atop one arch of Nerva's Forum.
The tower stands as a symbol of medieval Roman nobility, representing the power dynamics between aristocratic families and religious authorities in thirteenth-century Rome.
Located at Via Tor de' Conti 38-39, the tower provides an excellent starting point for exploring Rome's ancient district near the Imperial Forums.
Originally reaching between 50 and 60 meters in height, earthquakes reduced the structure to its current size, leading to reconstruction efforts in 1620.
