Civic tower
The Torre Civica is the landmark monument of Bassano del Grappa's medieval history.Standing more than 40 meters high, the tower soars in the heart of the historic center to provide an unparalleled panoramic view of the entire city.
Attested as early as 1349 but, according to tradition, founded by Ezzelino da Romano around the mid-1200s for defensive and military purposes, the Tower actually fulfilled a predominantly civilian function: the ringing of its bells regulated every aspect of public life, from the market to the guard shift change, as well as signaling sudden dangers. In the eighteenth century the tower was equipped with the characteristic clock, while the battlements, which give it a profile so closely linked to medieval imagery, actually date back to a restoration carried out in the first half of the nineteenth century.
