As previously mentioned, Bologna was once full of tall, narrow stone towers during the Middle Ages – Only a handful still remain today in their original shape and design, one of which is the Torre Prendiparte.
This particular tower was constructed during the 12th century and stands at 59.50 metres high.
Located on the Piazza Prendiparte, the tower lies close to the two leaning towers and the Piazza Maggiore.
It now hosts a bed and breakfast establishment which offers a unique experience, but the levels of the tower are also still open and you can climb to the top and explore this wonderful building.
