The leaning towers of Bologna are the unmistakable landmarks of the city. They stand guard at the Piazza di Porta Ravegnana.
The taller of the two towers, the 97.6 m high Torre degli Asinelli, can be climbed. Not recommended for people with vertigo or knee problems (498 steps). But English students should also refrain from climbing the steps, as there is a popular saying that anyone who climbs the tower will never get a university degree. The Asinelli family tower was built between 1109 and 1119 - today it is 1.3 m off the vertical. The neighbouring 48 m high Torre Garisenda even has a slant of 3.2m
