Torre del Pegol, Medieval defensive tower in Brescia, Italy
The Torre del Pegol rises 32 meters high with a stone facade featuring decorative reliefs and a clock mounted on its northern side.
Construction of the tower commenced in 1254 as part of Brescia's medieval fortification system, initially serving as a protective bastion for the city walls.
The tower incorporates artistic elements including carved reliefs depicting a saint and a human face with a flower, dated to the year 1253.
Located on Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi in central Brescia, the tower stands near several historical landmarks and remains open for public viewing throughout the year.
A Mannerist fountain added in 1597 adorns the western side, displaying four statues representing the local rivers Mella and Garza or lakes Garda and Iseo.
