Beautiful medieval tower in the center of Marano

A 16th century relic is still stuck in a corner of the tower, the remains of a ring from a large chain with which criminals were tied to be paraded in the pillory before passers-by.

In the upper part of the tower there is an important panel that contains the working clock, powered by a mechanism dating back to the 18th century (1739). It has always struck the hours for the town's inhabitants. However, it has to be wound up by hand every day, which means climbing 98 steps to reach the cell where the clockwork is housed. Mrs. Milocco Angelina, who lived to be 108 years old, reported that the clock had a large glass quadrant that could be seen from the lagoon. Unfortunately, this was struck by lightning and was never restored. Recently, when the old device was damaged, the local administration replaced it with a modern and functional clockwork.

In the south façade of the tower, in the niches, there are half-busts of the magistrates belonging to the Bragadeno, Gradenigo and Foscarini families.

Some of the tombstones are surrounded by ornaments that reflect the signs of the Renaissance: from war trophies to armor, up to the stone municipal coat of arms.

The Provveditore Gerolamo Contarini, whose coat of arms was in the architrave of the entrance gate to the tower, built two dungeons in 1557 that can still be seen: one underground dungeon, the other on the upper floor, which in 1601 was a warehouse for ammunition and gunpowder. "... if he found prisoners with desperate thoughts, he could commit some notable crimes and cause serious harm to the inhabitants."
