Torri Montanare, Medieval towers and auditorium in Lanciano, Italy.
The Torri Montanare consists of two connected defensive structures with a rectangular internal tower and a lower tower at the northwest corner.
Built in the 11th century to protect the mountain side of the city, the towers underwent significant modifications during the reign of Alfonso I of Aragon in 1630.
The towers now function as an auditorium within the Parco delle Arti Musicali, hosting musical performances and cultural events throughout the year.
Visitors can climb internal wooden bridges connected by stairs to reach different levels of the tallest tower and access the observation points.
The northwest tower features distinctive protruding elements with brackets and battlements, while the supporting walls display multiple construction phases.
