Borgia tower
Borgia towers are large towers set up by the Borgia in Rome, used to spread their influence throughout the city. Ezio Auditore da Firenze has to kill each tower's leader, and burn the towers down. To escape the collapsing structure, he can perform a Leap of Faith, in the same manner as with view points.[1] Before destroying each tower, Ezio has to assassinate its Borgia Leader, as they control the towers. There are twelve towers in total so far. Each leader can act differently when they spot him; wherein some might flee, while others choose to fight. If Ezio lets the Borgia Leader escape, he will have to wait a full in-game day to reattempt killing him. With each tower blown up, the Borgias' influence decreases in that particular district, which also provides its populace the opportunity to start shops and allows Ezio to recruit one more assassin into the order. Crime will decrease, as bandits will start to leave and the number of guards in that area will decrease as well.[2]The map on the pause menu identifies the towers with a small castle icon, unlike the view points, which are marked with an eagle. To enter a Borgia Tower, you will sometimes need to find and access it using a secret entrance.[3]
When you have destroyed a Borgia Tower, it will function as an Assassins Tower, which has the same use as an Assassins Pigeon Cage
