Torre del Popolo, Circular bell tower in Palazzolo sull'Oglio, Italy
The Torre del Popolo rises to a height of 91 meters with a copper-coated statue of Saint Fedele positioned at its summit measuring 6.8 meters tall.
The construction of Torre del Popolo occurred between 1813 and 1838, incorporating one of the towers from the Rocca Magna, specifically the Torre Mirabella as its foundation.
The tower houses twelve Ambrosian bells tuned in A flat, creating musical compositions that mark significant moments in the community throughout the year.
Visitors can access the tower during scheduled hours and observe the complex bell mechanism system that manages both motorized and manual sound operations.
The bell concert consists of twelve bells weighing 10,197 kilograms, with ten smaller ones positioned outside the cells and larger ones housed within.
