Tower of San Martino della Battaglia

The 74 meter high tower was constructed in the form of a Neo-Gothic turret, atop the hill of San Martino.

The larger engagement, which also included French troops, led to the cession of Lombardy to the Kingdom of Sardinia (Piedmont).

The architect was Giacomo Frizzoni of Bergamo, and engineers were Luigi Fattori of Solferino, Antonio Monterumici of Treviso, and Ducati Cavalieri of Bologna.

The walls have large frescoes by Vittorio Bressanin of Venice, but also Vincenzo De Stefani (born in Verona, March 6, 1859),[1] Alberti Giuseppe Vizzotto of Oderzo, and Raffaello Pontremoli, with panels depicting events surrounding the battle.

The architecture seems to have been influenced by the Neoclassic marble tower built in the Cemetery of Brescia in 1815 by the architect Rodolfo Vantini; however, this monument in hewn stone projects a rustic gothic castle appearance.
