The Leaning Tower Of Cookies

Went to Italy, many years ago and I asked the locals what to see. They said," My friend, you must go and see the Leaning Tower of Cookies ! It's magnificent ! "

 

I did, and I must agree, it's definitely one of a kind. I read in the architectural books, that apparently there was supposed to be another level, but upon construction, it almost toppled over !

 

According to local Folklore (which goes back several centuries), there is also a ban on any milk products in the immediate area, which foretells the collapse of the structure if it comes within contact of milk. That's why only bottled water is sold by the nearby street vendors, apparently.

 

But, I highly recommend seeing it for yourself, before it collapses, one day. Quite a sight ! :-)
