Torrione Farnese, Renaissance tower in Castell'Arquato, Italy.
The Torrione Farnese stands 30 meters tall with thick stone walls and displays symmetrical architectural elements characteristic of Renaissance military structures.
Built in 1527, the tower formed part of the defensive fortifications that protected Castell'Arquato during regional conflicts of the sixteenth century.
The tower represents Renaissance engineering principles through its balanced proportions, geometric patterns, and structural elements that combine military function with architectural refinement.
Visitors can access the tower daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the local tourism office.
The tower's position on elevated ground provides a complete view of the Arda Valley, making it an effective military observation point in the past.
