Torre di Catilina, Medieval tower in Piazza del Duomo, Pistoia, Italy
The stone tower rises 30 meters high on a rectangular base, displaying the Rossi family coat of arms at its corner in Piazza del Duomo.
Built in the 9th century, the tower stands near Via Tomba di Catilina, where Roman general Catiline was reportedly buried after his defeat in 62 BC.
The structure evolved from a defensive watchtower into a commercial building during the Middle Ages, featuring a shop on the ground floor.
The tower remains closed to public access, allowing visitors to observe only its external architecture and historical features from Piazza del Duomo.
During the 1990s, the municipality created a panoramic terrace at the summit, providing views across the central square of Pistoia.
