Message from Fjenin

Porta Torre, also known as Torre di Porta Vittoria, is a badass fortified tower in Como, Italy. Standing at 40 meters tall, this bad boy was built in 1192 to guard the main entrance of the city. It's like the OG defender of Como, with a Romanesque military style that's still standing strong today. Plus, it's got some cool history behind it, like how it was beefed up with artillery guns in the 14th century. So, if you're ever strolling through Como, make sure to check out this ancient tower that's been holding it down for centuries.
