Torre Troyana, Medieval tower in Piazza Medici, Asti, Italy.
The Torre Troyana rises 44 meters high with a square base of 5.90 meters, featuring twelve mullioned windows across three distinct floors.
The tower construction started in the late 12th century by the Troya family of bankers, who completed the structure between 1260 and 1280.
The tower represents the medieval practice of wealthy families building tall structures to demonstrate their power and financial status in Italian cities.
Visitors need to purchase a SMARTICKET ASTI MUSEI at Palazzo Mazzetti for 10 euros to climb the 199 steps to the observation level.
The tower bell from 1531 ranks as the second oldest in Piedmont region and continues to mark time for the city residents.
