Torre dei Quattro Canti, Medieval tower in Noli, Italy.
The Torre dei Quattro Canti rises 38 meters high at an intersection of four streets, constructed with distinctive red brick walls and Gothic architectural elements.
Built around 1200, the tower represents one of eight remaining structures from the original 72 towers erected during the maritime Republic of Noli period from 1192 to 1797.
Noble families who supported the financing of the republic's naval fleet received permission to construct towers, displaying their social and economic influence in the community.
The tower stands at coordinates 44.205513 latitude and 8.414733 longitude, with access points from multiple surrounding streets in the central district of Noli.
Among the surviving towers of Noli, the Torre dei Quattro Canti maintains its position as the tallest structure, marking the crossroads of the medieval town center.

Liguria stretches as a narrow coastal strip between the Maritime Alps and the Apennines, combining maritime tradition with mountainous interior. Along the Riviera di Ponente in the west lie towns such as Dolceacqua with its medieval Doria Castle, the fortified town of Noli, and the Hanbury Botanical Gardens near La Mortola. The Riviera di Levante in the east features the Cinque Terre National Park with its coastal villages, Portofino with Castello Brown, and the Baia del Silenzio in Sestri Levante. Finalborgo preserves its medieval structure within the walls of Finale Ligure, while Vernazza with the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia above the harbor belongs to the Cinque Terre. Inland valleys such as Valle Argentina lead to mountain villages that have maintained their historic architecture. Triora sits at 2,559 feet (780 meters) in the Ligurian Alps, Apricale displays stone alleys and vaulted passages, and Cervo perches above the coast between Imperia and Alassio. Bussana Vecchia was abandoned after an 1887 earthquake and later resettled by artists. Castelvecchio di Rocca Barbena clusters around a medieval fortress. The Grotte di Toirano and Borgio Verezzi Caves offer geological formations with stalactites and stalagmites. Montemarcello-Magra Regional Park extends between the coast at Montemarcello and the Magra Valley, while Palmaria Island lies off Portovenere with the Doria Tower. Genoa's Porto Antico connects the historic harbor with modern cultural facilities.
