Torre di Castiglioncello, 16th century defensive tower in Castiglioncello, Italy
The Torre di Castiglioncello stands on a hill above the Tuscan coastline, featuring military architectural elements from the Renaissance period.
The Medici family constructed this stone tower during the 1500s to protect the coast from pirate raids and foreign naval invasions.
The tower became a gathering point for artists of the Macchiaioli movement in the 19th century who captured Tuscany's landscapes in their paintings.
Visitors can reach the tower by following the marked path from Castiglioncello's center, which takes approximately 20 minutes on foot.
The structure contains original defensive features including arrow slits, thick stone walls, and a strategic position monitoring both land and sea approaches.
