Torre Polveriera / Powder Tower / Pulverturm

Merano, Italy

The Powder Tower of Merano owes its name to the fact that the city fathers of Merano, worried about the large stocks of gunpowder,
which were stored in Merano during the 30-year war, therefore stored them in the keep of Ortenstein Castle. The castle was demolished,
but fortunately not the gunpowder tower!
