The walls had scenes which I think may have told the history of Bologna

Damian went out for the morning and took my camera with him, to get some shots from the top of one of the two towers - Le Due Torre. All the rest of the shots in this gallery are his.
|
 |
One of Bologna's names is "the Red" due to the red roofs and walls
|
 |
The shorter of the Due Torre had its top removed because it was leaning.
|
 |
There used to be many towers in the city as anybody with any money built one in a "mine's bigger than yours" neighbourly competition, they were also good for defence

Neptune's statue. Don't look too closely at where the water is coming from.
