Torre del Candeliere, Medieval fortified tower in Massa Marittima, Italy.
The Torre del Candeliere rises 28 meters high with thick stone walls and features an operational arch connecting it to the Cassero Senese fortress.
Built in 1228 by Pisan podestà Tedice Malabarba, the tower later underwent modifications when Siena reduced its height by one-third in 1335.
The tower houses a military museum that displays artifacts and exhibits detailing the evolution of warfare and defense systems in medieval Tuscany.
Visitors can access the tower's observation platform through a series of stairs, with admission fees varying according to age categories.
The tower received its first town clock in 1443, mounted on its eastern wall facing Piazza Matteotti, marking a technological advancement for the period.
