Dongione di Introdacqua, Medieval tower in Introdacqua, Italy.
The Dongione di Introdacqua stands with a hexagonal outer wall measuring 7.30 meters on each side and features a square central section of 5.20 meters.
Built in 1173 under Simone I Di Sangro's direction, the tower later incorporated cannon ports following the introduction of gunpowder in military defensive structures.
The tower's representation in the Museum of Abruzzo in Miniature and Castello Cantelmo demonstrates its architectural influence on regional fortification designs.
The entrance to the central section sits 6 meters above the courtyard level, while the main access point faces east at 3 meters above street level.
Despite multiple earthquakes in 1349, 1456, and 1706, the tower maintained its structural integrity better than other sections of the original castle complex.
