Garisenda Tower

The Garisenda Tower is a historic medieval tower located in Bologna, Italy. Built in the 12th century, it originally served as a defensive structure and a symbol of family power. Its most distinctive feature is its significant tilt, caused by unstable foundations and shifting ground, making it one of the most famous leaning towers in the world. Despite its tilt, the tower remains a prominent landmark and a testament to medieval engineering. Today, it stands as a preserved historical monument, attracting visitors interested in Bologna’s rich history and medieval architecture.
