Torre del Barbarossa, Medieval bell tower in Seregno, Italy

The Torre del Barbarossa stands as a stone and brick structure in the historic center of Seregno, featuring Roman-Gothic architectural elements.

Built around 1100, the tower served as a strategic observation point during Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa's campaigns against Lombard municipalities.

The bell tower contains nine bronze bells, including four original ones from the ancient Church of San Vittore, each producing specific musical notes.

The Municipality of Seregno completed extensive restoration work on the tower in 1997, reinstalling the bells in the belfry chamber.

The tower exhibits rare Guelph architectural style elements, distinguishing it from other medieval structures of the same period.
