Description
The Torre dell`Elefante Italian: `Tower of the Elephant` is a medieval tower in Cagliari, southern Sardinia, Italy. It is located in the Castello historical quarter of the city. The tower was built in 1307, during the Pisan domination of the city, by the Sardinian architect Giovanni Capula, who had also designed the Torre di San Pancrazio two years earlier, as well as the Torre dell`Aquila, partly destroyed in the 18th century and now incorporated in Palazzo Boyl. The tower was part of the city`s fortifications in view of the imminent Aragonese invasion of the island.
