 Torre dei Conti The Torre dei Conti, once one of the most impressive towers in medieval Rome, was built in 1238 by Richard Conti, brother of Pope Innocent III (r. 1198-1216), as a fortified residence for his family, the Conti di Segni.
Currently standing at a height of 29 m (95 ft), the Torre dei Conti would once have stood twice as high. Comments are closed.
