The Torre della Garisenda is one of the iconic Two Towers of Bologna, located in Piazza di Porta Ravegnana. Built between 1109 and 1110, it originally stood at about 60 meters but was reduced to its current height of 48 meters due to structural issues. The tower is famous for its significant tilt, making it a fascinating sight. It has been mentioned in literature, including works by Dante Alighieri. Visitors can enjoy the scenic views of the surrounding area. While there are no specific admission fees to view the tower from the outside, it is always recommended to check local guidelines regarding access and visiting hours, as they may vary. Accessibility may be limited due to the urban setting.
