Medieval Castle Towers

Piazzale Giacomo Matteotti Rovigo

In the heart of Rovigo's historical centre, the ancient fortified nucleus dominates, which traces its origins back to 920, the year in which Pope John X granted the Bishop of Adria authorisation to erect a castle to defend himself against barbarian attacks.

Today we can admire the remains of the city walls, but above all the two towers, emblems of the city: Torre Grimani, known as ‘Mozza’ due to its completely collapsed upper part, and Torre Donà, the latter with its 60-metre height is considered one of the main early mediaeval towers in Italy.

The castle towers are set in what is now the garden of Piazza Giacomo Matteotti, a place for meetings and entertainment.

Want to admire Rovigo from above? The ascent to Torre Donà is among the things to do in the city!
