Torri Asinelli Torri Asinelli No Data

Description


The city once had over a 100 towers, today less than 40 survive and many have been scaled back in size. The Asinelli tower was built as part of a feud between the Asinelli and Garisenda families. The next door Torri Garisenda quickly developed subsidence problems and is now 40 odd meters tall, but on a pretty spectacular lean. The Asinelli tower has a slight lean, but at over 90 meters tall, it's less noticeable, and by the time you've climbed the 498 steps to the top for the stunning views you don't notice the slope at all!
