One of these towers has a different aspect from the original one, in fact it seems raised and strengthened, so much so that today it has the shape of a bell tower with a clock inserted looking towards the inhabited area. Ponti is part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardatourism.it\/en\/scaliger-della-scala-verona\/\">Scaligeri<\/a> territories and falls within the strategic plan for the military defense of the
