Bologna - Two Towers Live Webcam
Live webcam shows the Two Towers in the city of Bologna, Italy.
The Two Towers of Bologna are an iconic landmark of the city, representing two medieval towers—Torre degli Asinelli and Torre Garisenda. The towers were constructed in the 12th century at the behest of the influential Bologna families, Asinelli and Garisenda, during a period of intense political rivalry within the city. The towers served as symbols of wealth and power, as well as defensive structures.
Torre degli Asinelli stands at a height of 97 meters (318 feet), making it one of the tallest leaning medieval towers in the world. Today, visitors can climb its 498 steps to the top, where they can enjoy stunning panoramic views of Bologna. Torre Garisenda is notable for its pronounced lean. Originally, its height was similar to that of Torre degli Asinelli, but in the 14th century, due to its lean and safety concerns, its height was reduced to 48 meters (157 feet).
The Two Towers of Bologna are located on Piazza di Porta Ravegnana, right in the heart of the city. This square is a historic and central place in Bologna, making it, along with these medieval towers, one of the main attractions of the largest city and capital of the Emilia-Romagna region. The towers dominate the skyline and serve as a key landmark in the city of Bologna.
