Cottanello. Guard Tower

Cottanello. Guard Tower

Observing the ancient wall of the guard tower of Cottanello, there is an arch with an entrance to the village and a tower.

This is what remains of a system consisting of two twin towers and a gate.

The defensive system inside the wall is clearly visible and the place where the soldiers guarded the access is recognized.

Today the arch offers a suggestive view over the whole valley.
