Lecco's clock tower is the second highest tower in Italy and one of the highest in Europe. Now it's possible to visit it, in some days and only with reservation, thanks to the project that aims to revalue this monument. It will be a unique experience that will lead from the full of history basement of the tower up to the terrace on top of it from where you can admire a full 360 view of the city, the lake and its mountains.

We didn't climb this impressive tower, but we spent 3 days in this beautiful city. It makes a very good base for visiting Lake Como. We loved Lecco with it's lake promenade, gorgeous views, nice streets and buildings... This is a city where I would love to live.

Qui il 24 giugno 1859 si scontrò l’esercito Piemontese, guidato dal re Vittorio Emanuele II, contro l’ala destra dell’esercito Austriaco, guidata dal generale Von Benedek. Nel Museo, composto da tre ampie sale, sono esposti cimeli, armi e divise relative alla battaglia e al Risorgimento in generale. Dalla terrazza della Torre, che si raggiunge mediante una rampa di oltre 400 mt., è visibile la sponda sud del Lago di Garda. Nelle immediate vicinanze è possibile ammirare le cascine coinvolte nella battaglia, mentre sullo sfondo si staglia il profilo delle Prealpi e del Monte Baldo. All’interno della Torre sono presenti affreschi che rievocano le tappe fondamentali del Risorgimento. All’interno della Cappella Ossario sono custoditi i resti di migliaia di combattenti dell’Armata Sarda e dell’Esercito Austriaco.

Every day: from 10.00 to 13.00 - from 14.30 to 18.00. Last ascent 30 minutes before th Torrazzo closes. Christmas, every Monday in January and February closed. The Torrazzo is one of the monument that best symbolizes the city of Cremona: it is indeed one of the highest medieval bell towers in Europe (m 112,22 – feet 368,18). The structure exemplifies the extreme accuracy of the ancient construction techniques and it is considered a perfect union between architectonic styles, which are completely different from each other. Thanks to the recent opening of the Vertical Museum, the issues related to the study of the astronomical are analyzed. Inside the 4 new halls you can find some curious historic objects and many kinds of old clocks. There’s also a fantastic Foucault’s Pendulum installation. Its oscillation demonstrates the Earth rotation from a scientific point of view. On the top of the tower you can admire a wonderful city view.

For the best views over Bergamo, definitely stop by. Second from top platform is reached by elevator, so accessible even for the less athletic, but the stairs to the topmost platform are small and narrow. Bells play right above the heads on the top platform, so time your visit in case you have strong feelings about being so near the bells.
