From a height of 84 metres, the Torre dei Lamberti dominates the historic centre of Verona and offers an unmissable panoramic view.
Built in 1172 by the Lamberti family in Romanesque style, it is located in the heart of the historic centre and just a few steps away from the famous balcony of Romeo and Juliet. The tower, initially only 37 metres high, collapsed due to a lightning strike at the beginning of the 15th century; it was rebuilt with slow restoration work in the following years and in 1463 it was raised to the current 84 metres. At the end of the 18th century the clock was added, which together with the four bells is a characteristic element of this landmark.
The Torre dei Lamberti is open to the public every day of the year (except 25 December) and a single cumulative ticket also allows visitors to visit the adjacent Galleria d’Arte Moderna.
It is possible to go up to the first level, where there are panoramic terraces and the belfry, by climbing 378 steps or using the panoramic lift. From here it is possible to admire the entire historic centre from above, as the Torre dei Lamberti is the highest monument in Verona.
