Porta Campana (Torre di Arnolfo)

Castelfranco di Sopra is a medieval village located on the hills of the Valdarno. At the entrance of the town is the splendid tower from the 1300s, the Torre di Arnolfo, symbol of the town, the design of which is attributed to Arnolfo di Cambio.

Vasari attributed a number of other important buildings, renovations and urban development projects in Florence and its territory to Arnolfo, including the castles of San Giovanni and Castelfranco in the Arno Valley. However, only the Badia and Santa Croce in Florence are now seriously regarded as Arnolfo’s work.
