'''Torre dei Salvucci''' are two towers located in [[San Gimignano]], and are a location in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''. The towers were the tallest in the town when they were constructed in the 13th century; however, due to local law, the towers had to be reduced in size because they were taller than those of the local rulers. The tallest of the towers now stands at 48 metres. A [[glyph]] is also located on one of the towers.
