β£ Samsung Galaxy Note 10+β£ Taken on 24/04/2021.β£ β£ *β£ Monastero Bormida is a small town in the Asti province, most famous for its castle, bridge and bell tower.β£ β£ The bell tower dates back to the 11th century and is still in excellent condition. β£ β£ A fine example of Romanesque architecture, it stands 27 metres high, has four tiers on all four sides with friezes and little hanging arches.β£ β£ What makes the tower particularly striking as well is that the lower half is built in brick whereas the upper half is made of stone.β£ β£ Notice the contrast between the round-headed arched windows at the top and the smaller openings further down.β£ β£ But what makes this square-plan tower truly unique is how it appears to be connected to the castle by a round-headed archβsomething you rarely see in Italy.β£ β£ ππΌπ ππΌ π΄π²π ππ΅π²πΏπ²:β£ β£ π Take the train from Alessandria or Asti to Acqui Terme.β£ β£ π Catch a bus to Monastero Bormida with 'GelosoBus' which runs from Monday to Saturday.β£ ______________________________________β£ β£ #MonasteroBormida #IgersAsti #Ig_Asti #Ig_Piemonte #Piedmont #Piemonte #BorghiItaliani #RoadToPiemonte #TouringClub #Italia #Italy #SiViaggiare_Piemonte #ClickFor_Piemonte #Piemonte_Super_Pics #Shotz_Of_Piemonte #PiemonteConte #Piemonte_Illife #Visit_Piemonte #Unfiltered #Italy_Vacations #ItalianVillage #Travel_Italy #VolgoPiemonte #PiemonteTurismo #PiemonteOutdoor #PiemonteDaScoprire #InstaItaly #NeverStopExploring #PanchinaGigante #BigBench (at Monastero Bormida, Piedmont, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbXI5e3KA8P/?utm_medium=tumblr
