The tower, built around 1406 when the Florentines ruled Pisa, was part of the old "cittadella". It was named "Torre Guelfa" as an other, older tower in Pisa was named "Torre Ghibellina". In 1944 the Torre Guelfa was completely destroyed the bombings of World War II. It got rebuilt in 1956. Between tree and tower the snow capped mountains of the Apennines are visible on the horizon.
