Torri Montanare, Medieval towers and auditorium in Lanciano, Italy.

Torri Montanare consists of two connected medieval defensive towers, featuring a tall rectangular structure and a lower tower positioned at the northwest corner. Internal passages link the towers, and the exterior walls display multiple construction phases from different periods.

The defensive structures were built in the 11th century to protect the mountainside approach to the city. Significant modifications were carried out during the 17th century under Aragonese rule, reshaping the original construction.

The name "Montanare" refers to the towers' role defending Lanciano's mountain side. Two gates once pierced the walls, Santa Maria Nuova and Santa Chiara, both demolished in the early 19th century; the towers themselves served as a prison in the past.

The towers stand along via Silvio Spaventa, where the walls are built with a sloping base (scarpa). The tallest tower keeps its battlements and internal wooden bridges joined by stairs that once led to the loopholes of each floor. The lower northwest tower, from the 15th century, is crowned by corbels.

The lower northwest tower dates to the 15th century and is topped by a projecting structure on corbels, while the taller tower has battlements and internal wooden bridges linked by stairs to reach the loopholes of each floor. The walls show several building phases, with different techniques used to reinforce unstable sections.
