The passage underneath
The road still goes through the gate, which is what makes the tower a piece of the working town rather than a monument.

A later civic addition to a defensive structure, and the reason for the tower's modern name.
The pairing with the Rocca
The tower closes one end of Piazza Castello and the moated fortress the other -- the two are best seen as one thing.
