Guaita Tower

Guaita Tower is the largest and grandest of the three towers, and there were many more people here. To get to Montale Tower earlier, I had to go across some stone steps which I knew were at the edge of a cliff. I’m not great with heights so I didn’t love going onto this path. Anyway, to get to Guaita, I had to retrace my steps and go back along the same trail.

I thought about going up the tower, but there was a long queue to get into the single ladder going up and down, and my tendinitis-impacted left knee was starting to act up. So, I gave it a miss and instead explored the lower walkways. Inside the tower, there was one Atlas Obscura site: drawings on the walls of the prison made by past prisoners.
