Prison Tower - Panoramic
Booking
Built in the 16th century by order of the judges, councilors, and the council's procurator, as a symbol of the municipality's power.
From here, one can see the 16th-century nucleus of the town and its main buildings from that period.
A sturdy tower, crowned with battlements, with a 16th-century door, it had a clock and a bell with which the mayor would summon assemblies.
It had an adjacent building, the former town hall, and was converted into a prison in the early decades of the 20th century.
