Asinelli Tower
The Asinelli tower in Bologna.
The Two Towers (Le due torri), stand in close proximity and both lean. They are symbols of the City of Bologna, Italy.
They are located at the intersection of the roads that lead to the five gates of the old ring wall (mura dei torresotti).
This is the taller of the two, called the Asinelli. (The smaller but more leaning tower is called the Garisenda). Their names derive from the families which are traditionally credited with having built them, between 1109 and 1119.
