The tower of San Vitale is located at the end or beginning of Via Serafino Balestra. The name originated from an old church that was demolished in the place of the construction of the railway.
The tower is a pentagonal construction just like that of Porta Nuova. A tower to look up to 😜

According to my information, there is an abandoned hospital next to the tower behind the approximately 4 meter high walls.
All shutters are permanently closed.
