🇮🇹Siena "Tower of Mangia"

#2月好地方2025 The Torre del Mangia is located in Piazza del Campo, the central square of Siena in the Tuscany region of Italy, next to the Gothic Siena City Hall. Built between 1325 and 1348, the tower is 102 meters high and is one of Siena's landmarks, clearly visible from anywhere in the city. The people of Sienese are proud to call the Torre Mangia the third tallest bell tower in Italy, after the Torrazzo in Cremona and the Torre dei Bologna. Unlike the height of Siena Cathedral, this tower symbolizes the regime's acquisition of greater power. The tower's walls are 11 feet thick, ensuring its strength and stability. However, the stairs leading to the top of the tower are quite narrow, and most tourists need to be careful to avoid hitting their heads when climbing the tower. In order to protect the safety of the tower and tourists, only 25 people are allowed to enter the tower at the same time.
