Torre di Acquapuzza, Medieval tower near Via Romana Vecchia, Bassiano, Italy
The Torre di Acquapuzza stands on a cliff of Mount Acquapuzza, providing extended views over the former Pontine marshlands toward the Mediterranean Sea.
Built in the 12th century, the tower controlled the strategic Acquapuzza Pass, a crucial point for communications between Rome and southern territories.
Leonardo da Vinci included this tower in his 1514 Windsor Map while studying the drainage system of the Pontine marshlands.
The tower maintains its original conical structure and can be reached by following Via Romana Vecchia through the Borgo Tufette district.
The name Acquapuzza derives from the sulfurous springs in the area, which release water with a distinctive smell.
