Sirmione, Lombardy, Italy -- 7 centuries of soldering: The donjon or watchtower was built during the first phase starting in 1277. Its last military use seems to be during WWI when it held an anti-aircraft siren -- and sheltered some retreating French troops fleeing the Battle of Caporetto (which you recall, of course, from reading Hemingway's Farewell to Arms.)
