Torre dei Lamberti

Torre dei Lamberti is a bell tower in Piazza delle Erbe and reaches 84 meters in height with a combination of brick and stone construction, featuring a prominent clock on its facade. The structure welcomes visitors who can reach the upper levels using either stairs or an elevator.

Construction began in 1172, and after a lightning strike in 1403, the tower underwent major rebuilding and expansion with marble sections that stand out from the original materials. This rebuilding phase reshaped the structure and left visible traces of how it evolved over time.

The two bells housed here, Marangona and Rengo, have shaped the rhythm of daily life for centuries with distinct purposes. Marangona marks the hours of the day, while Rengo historically called citizens together for important civic events.

You can climb up using stairs or take the elevator, giving you flexibility based on your fitness or preference. The ascent rewards you with sweeping views across the city from the top.

The facade displays multiple layers of different materials where separate construction phases become visible, telling the story of how it was rebuilt and expanded over time. Careful observation reveals how building techniques and styles shifted across the centuries.
