Torre di San Pancrazio
A northern gate tower of the Castello district, built in 1305 at the highest point of the old city, next to the Museum City.
Designed by the same architect as the Elephant Tower, Capula, San Pancrazio Tower stands about 36 meters tall and is the highest point of the Castello district. During the Spanish period it was used as a prison. The gateway beneath the tower leads to the Museum City, where the Archaeological Museum is only a few steps away. When open, visitors can climb to the top for views over the city and the wetlands. Opening times are irregular, and admission costs a few euros. The two towers, the Cathedral and the Castello San Remy can be combined into a half-day walking route through the Castello district.
