Asinelli's Tower and view from the top





Plaster yourself to the corners when another curious soul ventures to pass.
It is single file only on this climb to the top.
97.2 meters tall with a lean of 2.23, one only senses the shift
at intervals where the outside carves its way in.
The warped stairs that lead to its peak are another story.
My hands ached from gripping during the long ascent.
Started in 1109 and completed ten years later.
The tower I mean.
