Walls, towers and gates 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.
Walls, towers and gates Torre Civica dell' Orologio The Civic Clock Tower was erected in 1604, at the behest of Friar Domenico Paganelli. The structure was built using the previous sixteenth-century rusticated base. It has a quadrangular plan with a dome on the top. In a niche with balcony we find the Madonna with the Child in marble, the work of Francesco Scala. The Tower was destroyed by the Germans in 1944, and later rebuilt in 1953 in its original position.
