    The author constructs symmetric saddle towers in Heisenberg space (periodic minimal surfaces that can be seen as the desingularization of vertical planes intersecting equi-angularly). The most important technical tool represents the construction of a suitable barrier to ensure the convergence of a family of bounded minimal disks. This is an important report in the field of periodic minimal surfaces, and it is accessible to all the researchers who have a strong background in differential geometry and geometric analysis.
