Porta o torre del Cervo (o delle campane)

Entrance of the castle turned bell tower


This was the second entrance of the castle, of lesser importance, as it faced a sparsely populated agricultural area.

It was precisely the rural district outside the castle, called "Cerva," that ended up giving its name to the tower and the door.

Due to the low traffic at this door, it was even closed off with a wall in the 14th century. Having lost its military purpose over the centuries, in 1876 it was raised by the parish to accommodate six large bells and thus became the bell tower of the religious community.

The Torre delle Campane (or Torre Padovana) was the western entrance to the village. Once it was as high as the Clock Tower and was covered by a roof of four-sloping tiles, until in 1876 it was decided to raise it further by adding a bell cell adorned with Ghibelline merlons, thus bringing it to a height of 43 metres.

The interior of the tower is now used for the staging of various exhibitions.
