Two Towers of Bologna
Due Torri
The Two Towers are the Asinelli and Garisenda towers, a pair of medieval towers at Piazza di Porta Ravegnana in the centre of Bologna.
Why go
The Two Towers are the Asinelli and the Garisenda, built in the Middle Ages, which Bologna Welcome, the city's official tourist information site, describes as commonly recognised as the symbol of Bologna. This record is the pair as one landmark; Wikidata keeps each tower as a separate item, and neither is a separate XTOUR record. Bologna Welcome's page lists the Garisenda as not open to visitors and the Asinelli as currently closed to the public for maintenance in the area. The Comune di Bologna said in February 2026 that the Garisenda safety works were entering their operational phase, with the mounting of frames ("tralicci") for the tower's safety works, so check Bologna Welcome or the Comune before planning a visit.
