EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Leaning Towers of Bologna, featuring the Asinelli Tower on the left and the Garisenda Tower on the right. These historical landmarks were constructed in the 12th century and have become symbols of Bologna's rich history and architectural heritage.
The distinctive lean of these towers is a result of subsidence in the soil and foundation over centuries, giving them a unique charm that draws visitors from around the world. Despite their leaning appearance, both towers have stood tall for nearly 900 years, serving as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship.
The Asinelli Tower, standing at 97 meters tall, is the taller of the two and offers breathtaking views of Bologna from its summit. The Garisenda Tower, although shorter due to its significant lean, still exudes an air of elegance and grandeur.
As you gaze upon this stunning image captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, you can't help but marvel at how these ancient structures have withstood the test of time. The Leaning Towers of Bologna are not just architectural wonders – they are living pieces of history that continue to inspire awe and admiration in all who behold them.
