Torre del Magnale, Medieval watchtower in Livorno, Italy
The octagonal stone structure stands at the entrance of the former Porto Pisano, featuring multiple floors and an observation platform at its summit.
Built between 1154 and 1163, Torre del Magnale served as a crucial defense point and headquarters for the supreme commander of Porto Pisano.
The tower name derives from its size and reflects the maritime influence of the Republic of Pisa during the medieval period.
Only foundation ruins remain visible along the Calata del Magnale quay, within the current industrial port area of Livorno.
The structure underwent transformation from squared stones to reinforced bricks after successive reconstructions throughout its existence.
