Campanile del duomo di Gaeta

The 57-meter-tall bell tower features four distinct floors with brick cornices and stands near the Cathedral of Saints Erasmus and Marcianus in Gaeta.

The construction of this medieval tower commenced in 1148 under architect Nicolangelus Romanus and reached completion in 1279 during Bishop Bartolomeo Maltacea's supervision.

Latin inscriptions and memorial stones decorate the tower's basement walls, preserving records of historical figures connected to the region.

The bell tower reopened to visitors on August 12, 2020, following extensive renovations that improved structural stability and access.

The northern basement section displays a large pointed arch, incorporating elements of Islamic architecture into its Romanesque design.
