The bell tower of San Fortunato di Todi is located in the heart of the city. The bell tower has fifteenth-century origins and is attached to the church of San Fortunato. According to official documents, it is thought that the bell tower was built in 1327. The building is famous for the panoramic view that can be enjoyed from the top with a unique view of both the city and the Umbrian valley. The bell tower was originally used as a lookout and strategic defense point of the city. Of great interest is the largest bell whose sound reaches the villages of the Umbra valley. Until a few years ago it was played by hand and left in a position opposite to its gravity. An overturned glass and a stick pointed at the ground were left on the bell. Once the stick was removed, the bell was allowed to ring very loudly. Currently it is possible to access the bell tower with guided tours for groups.
