Saint John Tower

Torre S. Giovanni

Saint John Tower

In this elevated place, history is often alternating. A fortification was built here around year 1000. One of its towers was transformed into a remarkable Romanesque bell tower, which was built next to the first parish church. The ancient structure of the fourteenth century was remodeled in the eighteenth century, but not even this building is visible today. The ancient church of St. John was in fact torn down in 1904, with the greatest regret of Angelo Roncalli, who loved it very much.
