Bologna
Torre degli Asinelli
Tallest Tower in Bologna
Piazza di Porta Ravegnana
Bologna, 40125
Nearest Train: bus 13.14.18.19.25.27 Rizzoli
Standing in the center of the Piazza di Porta Ravenna, the highest tower in Bologna, an emblematic symbol of the once "towered city," stands at 318 feet (97 meters), undisputed queen of the Bolognese rooftop panorama. Built in the 12th Century by the Asinelli family, most of the city's other Medieval towers have crumbled but this tower's strong foundations have kept it standing. The 498 steps take you to the very top, from where you can enjoy a really incredible view. At its summit it displays the Guelf battlements.
