A Romanesque tower of 1152 in the Goleto Abbey, commissioned by Abbess Febronia and built partly with blocks from a Roman mausoleum.

Within the complex of the Goleto Abbey, founded in 1133 by Saint William of Vercelli, rises the tower commissioned in 1152 by Abbess Febronia to defend the monastery. It is a two-storey Romanesque building, once reached by a drawbridge, with some Romanesque statues on the upper floor.We are fascinated by a close look at its stone blocks: many come from a Roman mausoleum dedicated to Paccius Marcellus and still bear bas-reliefs. The whole complex has been restored since 1973. We suggest pairing the tower with a visit to the monastery, with its inner garden, crypt and chapel of San Luca.
