★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Questa Torre risale al 1400 circa, il suo scopo principale era la difesa di uno degli ingressi della città di Gubbio. Era dotata di un triplice sistema difensivo composto da un ponte levatoio, una grata in ferro e un portone.
In principio era alta circa 25 metri, poi quando terminò la sua funzione, fu privata dei merli. Annessi alla Torre erano un granaio e una Gabella.
L'edificio era abitato da un corpo diguardia nei piani inferiori e da due Claveri alla sommità. Questi ultimi avevano in custodia le chiavi della porta. Nel 1600 il secondo arco sopra la Porta fu murato (foto) e divenne un'abitazione privata. Nel 1990 iniziano i lavori di restauro che si sono conclusi nel 1994 con l'apertura ufficiale del Museo.
 This tower dates back to around 1400, its main purpose was the defense of one of the entrances to the city of Gubbio. It was equipped with a triple defensive system consisting of a drawbridge, an iron grate and a door.
In the beginning it was about 25 meters high, then when it ended its function, it was deprived of the battlements. Attached to the Tower were a granary and a Gabella.
The building was inhabited by a guard body on the lower floors and by two Claveri at the top. The latter had the keys to the door in custody. In 1600 the second arch above the door was walled up (photo) and became a private residence. Restoration work began in 1990 and ended in 1994 with the official opening of the Museum.
