La TORRE di PORTA SOPRANA è situata a levante nella parte alta. E' stata costruita nel XIII secolo a difesa e protezione dell'antico borgo. E' una struttura maestosa, alta 24 metri e si vede da lontano. Nel XIX secolo ha subito alcuni interventi per ospitare la campana dell'orologio. Da PORTA SOPRANA, detta anche TORRE dell'OROLOGIO, si esce dall'antico borgo e si accede alle contrade dei portici.
Varzi è la meta ideale per una gita nel weekend.

Siamo ritornati a Varzi per la Fiera del 1 Maggio. Passeggiando per il bellissimo centro storico siamo passati ovviamente sotto la Torre di Porta Soprana che domina le stradine del borgo con angoli suggestivi, banchetti con prodotti locali ( il famoso salame di Varzi, formaggi, funghi, vino…) e oggetti di artigianato. Fiera con tanti animali: cavalli, buoi, capre, conigli, galline ...e molti buoni ristoranti !

La Torre medioevale di Porta Soprana caratterizza il centro storico di Varzi ed è un punto di passaggio nella festa imperdibile del 1 Maggio. Passeggio nelle stradine del borgo con molti banchetti ricchi di prodotti locali ( alimentari ed artigianato ), angoli suggestivi, buon salame, imbarazzo nella scelta del ristorante. Una fiera con tanti animali: cavalli buoi, capre, conigli, tacchini, galline ...

Built in medieval times, it was one of the two gateways to the town: it is still located along the main street of the old town, but is practically set among the civil buildings.
The tower is quite massive, has a square plan, is about 24 m high and is built with exposed stones of grayish color.
At the base there is a pedestrian and driveway underpass with two arched entrances, very characteristic.
On the inner side only a small loophole and a clock, while in the upper part is included a sort of bell shrine.
Too bad it is not accessible. I assume you would enjoy a pleasant view

Camminando tra i banchetti nelle affollate piccole vie del borgo storico nel giorno della Fiera del 1 Maggio, arriviamo alla Torre di Porta Soprana, monumento che domina Varzi. Merita qualche fotografia !

Bel paese dell’Oltrpò Pavese. Borgo con mura medioevali e torri, interessante da visitare passeggiando nelle strette strade. Case ben ristrutturate, negozi con prodotti locali tipici e buoni ristoranti.

l centro storico di Varzi è uno dei più antichi d'Italia, ed è veramente stupendo.
Visitare il centro storico medievale di Varzi è come fare un viaggio nel passato, dove in ogni angolo trapelano testimonianze architettoniche di chiese, torri e del suoi portici dalla conformazione particolari. L’abitato si sviluppa su tre livelli di portici, ancora oggi visibili. Varzi è anche il punto di partenza per la Via del Sale: l’itinerario che nel Medioevo era usato da mercanti e contadini per trasportare su queste mulattiere le loro merci in Liguria e viceversa.
Ci sono poi molti locali, pizzerie, gelaterie, caffè.
Se vi trovate in zona, vi consiglio vivamente una passeggiata tra i suoi vicoli.

La torre di porta sottana e con la torre di porta soprana e che con le mura di cinta erano difesa e protezione del borgo abitato quando venne costituito il Marchesato di Varzi nel 1275. La costruzione in pietra locale venne eretta nel XII secolo, è tuttora molto ben conservata ed è di proprietà della famiglia Mazza Galanti.

Insieme alla torre di porta Sottana controlla il piccolo borgo di Varzi, interessantissimo da visitare passeggiando sui vari livelli del piccolo paesino

La torre di Porta Soprana è stata costruita nel XIII secolo ed è alta 24 metri. Struttura imponente che domina un meraviglioso borgo medioevale di vicoli e strette viuzze dove il tempo sembra essersi fermato. Per qualsiasi motivo ci si rechi a Varzi sicuramente va fatta una visita al centro storico e alla sua torre.
