Tips

Bell Tower of La Morra, located in the historic center, in the belvedere square, was built between 1709 and 1711, based on a design by Eng. Cocito di Neive who directed the works up to the height of the belfry.

The latter was designed by Eng. Domenico Pettiti of Cherasco, called by the Community of La Morra to resolve the slight westward slope of the tower. Pettiti decided not to build the sixth square of the original project and to replace it with the cell of the bells.

31 meters high and with a square plan, the tower is made up of five floors with simple and sober squares and a Baroque-style belfry. The stone shards dating back to the pre-existing medieval tower which fell in 1700 are still visible in the base, one of the few traces of the castle demolished in 1544 by order of the occupying French troops.

The tower, owned by the Municipality of La Morra, can be visited from March to November, on Saturdays and Sundays and is located in the belvedere square a few meters away from the Cantina Comunale di La Morra

The bell tower was built between 1709 and 1711 to a design by English Cocytus of Neive who extended the works to the height of the belfry. The latter was designed by Domenico Pettiti of Cherasco, called upon by the community of La Morra to resolve the slight slope to the west of the tower. Pettiti decided not to build the sixth square of the later project and to replace it with the phone box. 31 meters high. and with a square plan, the tower consists of five floors with simple and sober squares and a baroque style belfry.In the base, the stone fragments dating from the thatched tower begun in 1700 are visible, one of the few traces of the castle that were destroyed in 1544 by order of the occupying French instructions.
