Torre Ghirlandina, Modena

After lunch we did the climb to the top of the Torre Della Ghirlandina, the bell tower of the Duomo de Modena. Constructed in 1179, it is 86.12 metres high and thankfully the stairs were not as bad as some we have climbed. I did manage to make it to the top without a panic attack. It was great to see Modena from up high and the inside the tower was just as interesting.
