The hexagonal crooked tower of Pramotton

Situated in Donnas, Valle d'Aosta, the crooked tower of Pramotton stands as a remnant from the Middle Ages. Built in the 12th century, historians believe it was constructed as an observation post for the feudal lords of Bard. It exhibits a unique esagonally shape and features merlons along each corner, reinforced with conci. Dominating the plain of Pont-Saint-Martin, the tower stands watch over the access to the valley of the Lys. In the 13th century, the tower was passed down to Ugo of Bard, but in 1242, Amedeo IV of Savoy forced him to renounce on the feud, ultimately gaining control of the tower. With its courtyard wall to protect its vulnerable sides and wooden ceilings inside, this tower maintains a distinctive charm that entices visitors from far and wide. Today, it is open to the public, serving as a testament to the history of the region.
