Walls, Gattoni Tower and Gate Tower Sightseeing
About & History: The walls of Como, built for the fist time by order of Julius Caesar, were part of a complex defensive structure to cover the entrances to Milan and Po Valley from the Central Alps, which included, among others, the Castle Baradello, the Comacina Island fortification and the castles of Bellinzona. Gattoni Tower, formerly know as Tower of Porta Nuova, was rebuilt by Frederick Barbarossa, together with the other two towers and was acquired in the late 1700s by Giulio Cesare Gattoni, a keen natural scientist, who opened a physics laboratory and there settled its scientific collections. Alessandro Volta, a friend of Gattoni, was often there to study and perform experiments that led to his great invention of the century: Pila. Tower Gate and Victoria are the oldest (1192) and most imposing medieval towers still standing. Standing at the height of 40 meter, its features two outer arches, the north side has a single tube with a great arch surmounted by four rows of double windows.
