Tower of the Winds, Fascist architecture tower in Bergamo, Italy
The Tower of the Winds stands 35 meters tall with a hexagonal base, featuring exterior walls covered in klinker and square loopholes on each side.
Built between 1939 and 1940 by architect Alziro Bergonzo, the tower was constructed rapidly to coincide with Benito Mussolini's visit to inaugurate Casa Littoria.
The structure displays six high-relief panels in colored cement by sculptor Leone Lodi, depicting themes related to Bergamo and its connection to different cities.
Located near the A4 highway exit, the tower requires official authorization for access and currently serves as a storage facility at ground level.
The tower's original design included white stone slabs with inscriptions by Senate President Giacomo Suardo, while the interior remains completely hollow above ground level.
