Summary[edit]
| Description |
Deutsch: Zwölferturm, Sterzing, Provinz Bozen (Südtirol), Region Trentino-Südtirol, Italien
English: Tower of Twelve, Vitipeno, Province of Bolzano (South Tyrol), Region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, Italy. The Tower of the Twelve separates the old town from the new town. It is called "Zwölferturm" in Geman and "Torre delle Dodici" in Italian. The tower is not only the landmark of Vipiteno, but with its 46 metres also its highest building. Its name probably derives from the fact that its bell rings at noon and has always called the citizens to lunch ("at twelve"). The Tower of the Twelve was built between 1468 and 1472 above the town passage and was thus used a the upper town gate. This was at a time when the nearby silver mine in the Val Ridanna valley led the region to prosperity and Vipiteno experienced its boom as a Fugger town. Two marble slabs above the archway still remind of the laying of the foundation stone by Sigismund, Archduke of Austria, in 1469. In 1867, the Gothic pointed roof burned down and was replaced by a stepped gable.
