Medieval Turret “House of the Book”

What can a medieval lookout tower that used to defend the walls of an entire village hide?

History, culture, art, and architecture mingle perfectly in tiny Macchiagodena.

In addition to enjoying the unique construction, which arises right in the center of the village, the turret is a space that houses pieces of art and, above all, one of the best-known libraries nationwide.

Within the circular walls of the ancient building, today it is home to the House of the Book, which collects volumes from all over Italy, thanks to a cultural project of national importance, placed in a unique context, among architectural finds, clothes donated by historical tailors, paintings and archaeological relics that arouse the amazement of visitors.
