Como, Porta Torre - Torre di Porta Vittoria
Tower of Porta Vittoria, Como
At the edge of the old city is the Porta Torre, found in the centre of the powerful walls which Federico Barbarossa founded in the twelfth century to protect the city of Como. Again as a defensive initiative, it is likely the emperor also built the Baradello castle in a similar strong position, of which today only the tower and part of the fortification remain.
