Very impressive! by witness_wannabe
Due Torri are located in the middle of the Old Town. The construction of the taller one (Torre degli Asinelli) commenced at anno 1109 and lasted some ten years. It is 97.20 meters (over 100 yards) high. It is open to public and offers some very nice views of the city from its top.
The shorter tower (Torre Garisenda) is a "mere" 48.16 meters tall and it is leanning!Incredible!
