Torre di Mariano II, Medieval tower in Piazza Roma, Oristano, Italy
The sandstone structure rises 19 meters high with a crenellated turret that extends the total height to 28 meters in the center of Oristano.
Built in 1290 during the reign of Marianus II, this tower functioned as the northern gate of the city walls and contained defensive fortifications.
The tower received its alternate name, Torre di San Cristoforo, from a Spanish retablo dedicated to Saint Christopher, the protector of travelers.
