About
A contemporary apartment complex is located inside this defensive tower from medieval times.
Pighin Tower is one of the three remaining medieval towers in Rovigo. It was once part of the city walls that once surrounded the town, but today it stands as a residential building. The structure was built in 1138 during the construction of the city walls. At first glance, the 23-meter (75 foot) brick tower looks like a typical medieval fortification. But if you look at the side facing towards the city center, its unique properties become apparent: A whole building sits inside the tower, occupying most of it.
