Torre dei Capocci, Medieval residential tower at Piazza San Martino ai Monti, Rome, Italy
The Torre dei Capocci reaches a height of 36 meters with seven floors, featuring small windows framed in travertine and a square base structure.
Built in the 12th century by the Arcioni family, the tower later became property of the Capocci family who constructed multiple houses around it.
The upper section of the tower contains original brickwork from the Baths of Trajan, representing medieval construction techniques and material reuse practices.
The tower includes an internal staircase leading to a terrace bordered by a masonry parapet with five complete merlons on each side.
A visible color variation at the third floor level marks where neighboring buildings connected to the tower before their removal in the 19th century.
