Villa Torre Gaiana is a wonderful pre-Renaissance building, with two attached towers and a detached one over the entrance avenue.
Only part of the base of the major tower is still existing.
There is plenty of mapping and photographic material representing Gaiana complex, which seemingly has always belonged, until recent times, to the Legnani family.
Address: Via Bastiana Gaiana, località Poggio Grande - 40024 Castel San Pietro Terme (BO)
Opening hours: Not accessible. The building is a private home.
How to get to Castel San Pietro Terme.
The Villa is located the locality of Gaiana, near Poggio Grande, approximately 5 kilometres far from Castel San Pietro Terme. It can be easily reached running along the Stradelli Guelfi (from Bologna) or the provincial road San Carlo (coming from Via Emilia S.S. 9).
Plenty of material on the villa-tower is contained in the book "Le fonti geoiconografiche del territorio bolognese orientale", published in November 2000.
