Hiking

Built between 1493 and 1497, the tower guarded the Porta of the same name located at the eastern end of the long decumanus of the Addizione Erculea. In 1518 Alfonso I d’Este decided to cover it with a conical roof grafted onto a massive pillar, while the battlements were filled in in the first half of the nineteenth century. After the French occupation of 1796, the Porta was named Porta Mare and the entire complex underwent various functional modifications. Since 1999, the Torrione di San Giovanni has hosted the Jazz Club Ferrara.
