COLONNA TOWER

TORRE DEI COLONNA
Via IV Novembre/Via delle Tre Cannelle 18

End of the twelfth century by Gilido Carbone
It was attached to the defensive system of the Colonna family, later owned by the Annibaldi Molara family

Built in bricks. It was originally a three-storey buiding
The crowning in travertine is modern

In the lower part of the tower are embedded three ancient “Fragments of reliefs” and the emblem of the Colonna family
It was recently restored and reconverted into a luxury hotel with the name RESIDENZA TORRE COLONNA
