Marzocco tower, Renaissance tower in Livorno, Italy.
The cylindrical structure rises 54 meters high with an octagonal plan, featuring eight faces adorned with bas-relief carvings of different winds.
The tower marks the first major construction by the Florentine Republic in Livorno after obtaining control from Genoa in 1421.
The name originates from the rampant lion symbol of Florence, with four Florentine emblems placed under the arches at the highest level.
The tower, located within the industrial port area, requires advance arrangements for visits due to its restricted access location.
The tower's design, possibly attributed to Leon Battista Alberti, combines military function with Renaissance architectural principles in its structure.
