Tour de l'Aigle, Medieval tower in Castello district, Cagliari, Italy
The Torre dell'Aquila rises 31 meters high and features white limestone walls with wooden galleries on its eastern side following Pisan architecture.
Giovanni Capula constructed this defensive tower in 1307 during Pisan rule, but it lost its upper section after bombardments by English, Spanish, and French forces.
The tower displays engravings near its lower door indicating the construction year and architect's name, along with 14th-century crests of the city.
Visitors can access Torre dell'Aquila through Via Mario de Candia 8 in the Castello district, where it functions as one entrance to the quarter.
The structure includes three thick doors and two grates in its entrance system, with elevated shelves designed to hold wooden defensive structures.
