Torre di Porta Bruciata, Medieval tower in Piazza della Loggia, Brescia, Italy.
The Torre di Porta Bruciata stands at the west end of Via dei Musei, featuring large angular stone blocks and ghibelline merlons on its sides.
Originally built during the Roman Empire as a fortified gate, the tower received its name after a major fire destroyed parts of Brescia in 1184.
The tower marks the location where a religious procession in 806 led to Duke Namo of Bavaria's conversion after witnessing a reported miracle.
The base of the tower serves as a passage between Piazza della Loggia and Via dei Musei, with original iron door hinges still visible.
Since 1798, this former defensive structure has functioned as a private residence while maintaining its historical exterior appearance.
