South Tower

The “Torre del Sud” on the other hand is the other tower still visible today in addition to the Porta da Bora. It has notable constructive similarities with the nearby Porta da Bora but unlike the latter one which has been more preserved over time, the Torre del Sud over the years has been defaced by a perimeter balcony that cuts off, with its horizontality, the vertical upsurge of the tower.

However, the two towers are still today connected to each other by the perimeter walls that once jutted over an artificial moat with a defensive function that was abandoned in the fourteenth.
