Leaning towers are not only in Pisa, there are also in Bologna: Asinelli and Garisenda. (Torre degli Asinelli, Torre Garisenda, piazza di Porta Ravegnana). The buildings date back to the 12th century, they symbolized the prestige of the customer dynasties, but Garisenda began to lean during construction, later it had to be halved, and now it is even reinforced with steel bands from destruction. Some time ago, it was still possible to climb Asinelli and view the panorama of the city, this is the tallest building in Bologna - 102 meters, but now there are security problems here, and this tower is also surrounded by steel bands. The age of the towers is steadily approaching a millennium.
