La Torre (tower in various locations)

A "torre" (tower) is a tall, vertical structure built for various purposes, such as communication, observation, or defense. In different locations, towers can serve functions like broadcasting TV or radio signals, supporting antennas, or providing panoramic views for tourists. Architecturally, they vary from slender spires to massive concrete structures. Historically, towers have also been used for strategic military advantage or as symbols of power and prestige. Today, many towers are landmarks or iconic features of a cityscape, combining utility with aesthetic appeal.
