Torre dei Lamberti

Torre dei Lamberti stands as a must-see landmark for photo-travelers in Verona, offering unparalleled views of the city's historic center from its height of 84 meters. It's the tallest tower in Verona, erected in 1172, with additions in the 15th century including a bell chamber. The tower houses two bells, the Marangona, signaling the end of work, and the Rengo, used for calling citizens in times of war or to mark important events. For a unique perspective, climb the 368 steps or take the elevator to the panoramic terrace. The best time for photographs is early morning or late afternoon when the light beautifully accentuates the terracotta rooftops of Verona and the meandering Adige River. The intricate details of the tower's brick and marble structure make for striking close-up shots, while the view from the top provides a splendid backdrop of the cityscape, ideal for wide-angle photography.
