Gabella toll tower
The toll tower was erected in 1750 by order of Pope Benedetto XIV near the wooden bridge over the Santerno river.
The tower was once used to accommodate the collectors of the toll required to cross the bridge.
It is a two-tier building with four corner small towers. On its façade there are a marble epigraph celebrating Benedetto XIV and a bell-shaped niche, which used to house a votive terracotta plate. The plate was restored and it is now conserved at Imola's Municipal Picture Gallery.
