Torre del Diavolo: Difference between revisions

The Torre del Diavolo (English: Devil's Tower) was a tower located in the town of San Gimignano in Tuscany, Italy.

History[edit | edit source]

The tower was likely built during the Middle Ages with wooden spikes around the top for defense. It once had a walkway at its summit. The spikes around the top held the boards of the walkway in place.^[1]

The tower likely gained the name either from the belief that lightning once struck the tower, or that the original owner left on a trip, only to come back and find it slightly higher than when he left.^[1]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The tower contains a view point, as well as a glyph.
