Duomo di Portogruaro - Bell tower, Romanesque bell tower at Cathedral of Saint Andrew, Portogruaro, Italy.

The 59-meter-tall tower displays traditional Romanesque architecture with an octagonal spire and stands next to the Cathedral of Saint Andrew.

Built in the 12th century, the bell tower received modifications in 1511 when the Sassoferrato family renovated the wooden spire with lead covering.

The bell tower appears in the official coat of arms of Portogruaro alongside two cranes from the Pilacorte well.

Electronic speakers now reproduce the sound of five bells since 2011, as the tower's inclination prevents the actual bells from ringing.

The bell tower leans 42 centimeters from its base to the spire, making it one of the most tilted towers in Italy.
