Asinelli Tower

The taller of the two leaning towers, just under a hundred metres, climbed by nearly five hundred wooden steps with no lift and no shortcut. The view over the red roofs is the reward. Numbers are capped and slots timed; the tower has closed for structural work before, so it is worth checking it is open before building a day around it.
