Torre Rossa, Bell tower at Corso Vittorio Alfieri, Asti, Italy.
The Torre Rossa stands 24 meters tall with a 16-sided polygonal base and features alternating bands of red and white stone in its upper section.
The lower section of Torre Rossa dates to the 1st century BC as part of a Roman gate, while the upper portion was added in the 11th century.
The tower contains an altar with a statue of San Secondo, commemorating the saint who, according to local accounts, was imprisoned there in 119 AD.
The structure functions as a bell tower for the Chiesa di San Secondo, marking time and calling worshippers to religious services throughout the day.
The tower's original copper spire was removed in 1777, and its basement was deliberately filled to increase structural stability over time.
