La Torre Civica - Saluzzo
Emblema di Saluzzo, con i suoi 48 metri la Torre Civica svetta sul Palazzo Medioevale e sui tetti della città vecchia di Saluzzo.
Costruita nel 1462, si trova all'angolo di Via San Giovanni ed è parte integrante del Palazzo Comunale.
Simbolo dell'autonomia della comunità cittadina all'epoca del marchesato, la Torre Civica è a pianta quadrata ed è sormontata da una graziosa cuspide ottagonale di colore bianco, un tempo custode della campana cittadina.
In cima fa bella mostra un'aquila, lo stemma della città.
Risalendo 130 scalini si arriva all'elegante loggetta da cui si gode il panorama sulla città e la pianura circostante.
