The Torre Littoria , built in 1938, is one of Carbonia's architectural symbols. Standing 28 meters tall and clad in red trachyte, it combines the functions of the Casa del Fascio and the Torre del Littorio in a single building, a unique feature in Italy.
The absence of windows on the façade gives the exterior an austere appearance, while the interiors are distinguished by their marble and wood paneling, the Directorate Hall with the large Futurist painting “The Birth of Carbonia” by Corrado Forlin, and the bas-relief by Venanzo Crocetti depicting Victory.
During the Fascist era, the tower housed the Party offices and a memorial to the fallen; today, it is a multifunctional cultural center and a vantage point over the city. The 3D model allows you to explore the tower's rationalist architecture, virtually ascend its various floors, and appreciate the artistic details that make it a prominent example of twentieth-century urban planning.
