Torre Trappola, Medieval defensive tower in Grosseto, Italy.
The brick tower features a truncated pyramid base with a quadrangular section extending over two additional levels near the Ombrone River.
Built between 1413 and 1417, Torre Trappola protected a river port near the Ombrone mouth and included salt warehouses and customs buildings.
The tower belongs to a network of coastal fortifications established by the Republic of Siena for maritime protection and commerce control.
Access to the tower requires climbing an external staircase leading to an arched entrance portal on the raised ground floor.
Originally located at the seashore, natural coastal changes have moved the tower 4.5 kilometers inland from the current Mediterranean coastline.
