The Torre del Diavolo (English: Devil's Tower) was a tower located in the town of San Gimignano in Tuscany, Italy.

History

The tower was likely built during the Middle Ages with wooden spikes around the top for defense. It once had a walkway at its summit. The spikes around the top held the boards of the walkway in place.[1]

The tower likely gained the name either from the belief that lightning once struck the tower, or that the original owner left on a trip, only to come back and find it slightly higher than when he left.[1]
