    History
    It takes its name from the nearby church of San Tommaso (destroyed in 1836), located inside the walls at the intersection of the current via Sant'Andrea and Formignana.
    With its typical "arrow" shape and without earlobes in the sides, the bulwark was built at the end of the second decade of the 16th century, when Duke Alfonso I d'Este (1476-1534) decided to strengthen the defensive apparatus of the south-eastern sector of the city.

    With its typical arrow shape and without truncheons on its sides, the bastion was built when Alfonso I d’Este decided to strengthen the defensive apparatus of the southeastern sector of the city. A short distance away flows the eighteenth-century San Tommaso doccile, built in 1524 to drain the city sewers.
