Torri Massimiliane, Military defensive towers in Verona, Italy.
Four circular structures stand on the hills north of Verona, featuring two levels with an annular gallery and a terrace roof on top.
The towers were completed in 1837 under Major General Franz von Scholl as part of the Austrian defensive system protecting the northern approaches.
The towers represent a significant example of 19th-century military architecture, influenced by Swedish coastal fortifications and Montalembert's theoretical designs.
Each tower contained space for 75 infantry and 18 artillerymen, equipped with multiple cannons and 70 barrels of powder for ammunition storage.
The structures form part of a larger defensive network called the Quadrilatero, connecting strategic points between Verona, Venice, and other Italian cities.
