Revere bell-tower

Revere’s old tower is an architectural testimony to a fortified complex linked to the system of towers, castles and corti in the Bassa Padana area. It belonged to an old fortified system, now lost, dating from the 12C in which the strongholds allowed defensive, economic and administrative control of the local area.

The construction dates from 1125 and fell within the mediaeval type of the castle enclosure, probably comprising seven towers and a simple system of walls, as seen in other examples in the Mantua area and dating from a period prior to the Gonzaga one.
