History

Built in 1493, the Torrione del Barco is the largest and best preserved of those built along the Rossettian wall perimeter, an authentic device of military architecture.

Turismo Ferrara

January 8, 2025

With an external diameter of 21 m, it is the largest circular tower among those designed by Biagio Rossetti along the fortified perimeter of the Addizione Erculea, and was built on the north-western vertex starting from 1493.
