The “round tower” of Monterosso (Cinque Terre): historical-archaeological investigations and renovation project
In the coastal village of Monterosso, considerable remains survive of fortifications built up through time to control the territory and defend it against Saracen raids. The so-called “round tower” is located in the area of the Castle, on a dominating position on a mountain rock which stands out in the landscape. The tower is on an area belonging to the municipality, currently abandoned and overrun by vegetation, where one can also identify remains of wall structures, perhaps of medieval dwellings. This work presents the result of historicalarchaeological investigations carried out by the Dipartimento Architettura e Design (Department of Architecture and Design of the University of Genoa), aimed at renovating the area, and sets out goals and choices made for the renovation project, currently being drawn up on behalf of the Segretariato Regionale del Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali per la Liguria (Liguria Regional Office of the Italian Ministry of Culture).
