Cathedral tower of Teramo, Romanesque bell tower in Teramo, Italy.
The Cathedral Tower of Teramo is a Romanesque bell tower standing beside the cathedral, with a square base from the 12th century and an octagonal upper section. The structure shows a clear transition from early construction to later completion and stands prominently on Piazza Orsini.
Construction began around 1150 as part of a major building project that reorganized the religious site. The tower was developed over centuries, showing multiple building phases from the Romanesque period through the Renaissance.
The bell tower rings out during religious celebrations and has shaped the soundscape of the city for centuries. Locals and visitors connect its chimes with important moments in the life of the community.
The tower is located on Piazza Orsini in the city center and is easy to reach. The square is accessible and provides an open space to view the tower and neighboring cathedral from different angles.
The tower was partly built using stones from ancient Roman structures that once stood on this site. These reused materials connect the medieval structure directly with the city's ancient past.
