Two Towers
The Two Towers (Due torri) are the landmark medieval towers of Bologna, Italy: the taller Asinelli and the shorter, more-leaning Garisenda. Erected in the early 12th century by prominent families, they stand at the intersection of the city streets that led to the outer gates and remain dominant vertical features of the central square.

What Two Towers looked like in its prime.
A pair of tall, narrow medieval brick towers rising from a cobbled street intersection; the Asinelli is markedly taller with a crenellated battlement near its summit, while the Garisenda is shorter and leans more steeply. Both towers show regular courses of brown brick, rows of small slit windows and numerous putlog/anchor holes. Asinelli rests on a massive rusticated ashlar plinth; the towers stand amid arcaded merchant buildings and a small open square with a pedestaled statue.
