Torre del Gombito, Medieval tower in Città Alta, Bergamo, Italy.
The Torre del Gombito stands 51.6 meters tall at the intersection of Via Gombito, Via San Lorenzo, and Via Mario Lupo in the ancient city center.
Built in the 12th century, the tower witnessed conflicts between Guelph and Ghibelline factions, with the Suardi and Rivola families fighting for control.
The name Gombito derives from the Latin term 'ad compitum,' marking the crossroads of the Roman city's cardo and decumanus maximus streets.
Visitors need to climb 263 steps to reach the top of the tower, with guided tours available through the tourist office at specific time slots.
The structure initially measured 64 meters in height before its partial demolition in the 19th century, when it was donated to the municipality.
