Torre del Papito, Medieval tower in Largo Argentina, Rome, Italy
Torre del Papito stands at the edge of the archaeological complex, with its stone walls rising above the surrounding ancient Roman ruins.
The tower dates from medieval times when Rome contained more than 300 towers, making it one of the few remaining examples from that period.
Interior floors display various coats of arms from the Cesarini and Boccamazzi families, representing the successive ownership changes through centuries.
Located at Piazza dei Calcarari, the tower sits near the Sacred Area archaeological site, offering visitors multiple historical landmarks within walking distance.
A small medieval portico stands next to the tower, constructed with columns and capitals salvaged from a demolished house in the vicinity.
