点评:Probably in the winter the tower cannot be visited, since we found it barred.
However, observing it from the outside is also interesting. First of all for its size: it isn't common to find an isolated medieval tower 30 meters high. The size is explained by the fact that the tower was an ideal observatory for defensive purposes for the powerful knights of the Jerusalem order, who controlled the town. Later it was used for the same purpose by the Municipality of Perugia.
A panel displayed at the entrance informs us that the tower then encountered a long period of decadence, until the careful restoration that took place twenty years ago. Not only was it used as a municipal dog kennel; but, since the surrounding area became the site of the local livestock market, the skins of the slaughtered animals were hung out to dry here.

但是,从外面观察它也很有趣。首先是它的大小:30 米高的孤立中世纪塔并不常见。它之所以这么大,是因为这座塔是控制该镇的耶路撒冷骑士团强大的防御目的的理想瞭望台。后来,佩鲁贾市政府也将其用于同样的目的。
入口处展示的一块面板告诉我们,这座塔随后经历了一段漫长的衰败时期,直到 20 年前进行了精心修复。它不仅被用作市政狗舍;而且,由于周边地区成为当地牲畜市场的所在地,屠宰动物的皮被挂在这里晾干。
