Torre Lupara, Medieval tower in Fonte Nuova, Italy
The Torre Lupara stands as a square stone structure with a southern entrance, featuring wooden walkways connecting its multiple interior levels.
Dating back to the 11th century, the tower served as a defensive outpost for noble families and monitored movements along the Via Nomentana towards Mentana.
The structure earned the name 'three-color tower' due to its construction materials combining bricks, flint, and limestone in its architectural design.
Visitors can observe numerous holes in the tower walls, which originally held wooden beams and now serve as nesting spots for pigeons.
The tower contained two internal vaults during the 19th century, with the upper vault now collapsed while the lower one remains between ground and first floor.
