Fodor's Review:

Among the most well-preserved towers of Asti are the 13th-century Torre Comentina and the Torre Troyana, a tall, slender tower attached to the Palazzo Troya. The 18th-century church of Santa Caterina has incorporated one of Asti's medieval towers, the Torre Romana (itself built on an ancient Roman base), as its bell tower. Corso Vittorio Alfieri is Asti's main thoroughfare, running west-east across the city. This road, known in medieval times as Contrada Maestra, was built by the Romans.
