Piles of cannon balls are stacked for effect below St. Mary's Tower at the Prince's Palace in Monaco. Charles III rebuilt the tower in the late 1800s to resemble a medieval fortress.

Flag of the Tower

A building near the Piazza del Campo in Siena displays the flag for the Torre (Tower), one of the districts (contrade) which race in the Palio.  Established in the Middle Ages with flags which represent an animal or symbol related to their history and heraldry, only 17 of the original 59 remain.
