Bolognese Medieval Defensive Tower (Since I Can't Remember its Exact Name)

The outside of the tower covered in lights, and statue of some Catholic important figure.

The view from the top looking over several churches, the main piazza, and to San Luca on the Hill beyond.

Girls on top... several times.

Climbing up the 400 + steps of the tower with 400 + other people. It's fun to squeeze onto tiny, rickety, ancient staircases with holes in the steps and 50 ft. drops off one side with lots of other people passing and jumping and running and yelling and squishing and jamming. The family who lived in this tower must have been in really good shape.

Looking down.... down.... down....

Light!

We climbed up a defense tower over 200 years old that was built to house a rich family in fortress-like accomodations. You climb all the way to the top on thin wooden staircases that wind all around the inside of the brick tower. There were over a hundred other people in the tower when we were, and everyone was climbing up and down so there was a lot of strategic passing and lots of waiting to get to the top for the gorgeous view right from the center of the old city. It was beautiful!
