Torre di Oriolo

The Tower of Oriolo was erected in the second half of the fifteenth century, during the rule of Charles II Manfredi, lord of Faenza. The building has a hexagonal structure divided into five floors connected by a spiral staircase. Initially defensive, the Tower was sold to private individuals during the eighteenth century who used it as a mezzadria. It also served as a refuge for some civilians who fled from Faenza during the bombings of 1944.
