TORRE DEL GOMBITO
Tower located at the crossroads of the ancient axes of the Roman city.
52 m high, the tower is located at the crossroads between the ancient Roman city axes, the cardo and the decumanus. Built at the end of the 12th century, the Tower was for a long time the highest point. In 1848 during one of the revolts against the Austrians, the Tower was used to fire on enemy troops. Later, the Austrians destroyed the internal staircase that led to the top. It was not rebuilt until 1892. Today, it is often an easily identifiable landmark in the panorama. The view from the top is canonical.
