Pallata Tower, Brescia

The square-based stone tower rises 32 meters high, constructed with local Botticino limestone and medolo materials at the intersection of Via Pace and Corso Mameli.

Built in 1254 as part of the city's first defensive walls, the tower protected the San Giovanni Gate and remains the only surviving structure from that fortification period.

The western side features a 1597 fountain with four allegorical statues representing the Mella and Garza rivers that flow through the Brescia region.

Visitors can locate the tower at coordinates 45.54063, 10.21592, which stands as a reference point in the old district of Brescia.

The structure received additional features in the 15th century, including a clock in 1461 and brick battlements with a turret between 1476 and 1481.
