Torre Vanga, Medieval tower in Trento, Italy
The Torre Vanga rises 34 meters with seven floors, featuring a rectangular base of 11 by 10.5 meters near the Trento railway station.
Prince-bishop Federico Vanga constructed this defensive structure in 1210 as part of the city walls, positioned strategically along the Adige River.
The tower transformed from a military fortification into a prison before becoming an exhibition space for the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art.
Visitors can reach the tower by taking bus lines 1, 6, or 8 to the Cavalcavia San Lorenzo stop, located 150 meters from the entrance.
The tower displays different construction materials, with stone blocks at the base and bricks in the upper sections, reflecting various building periods.
