Like her aquatic sister, Verona is city bejeweled with elegant narrow towers. The Torre dei Lamberti is Verona's highest. It was started in the 12th century by the Lamberti family, and gradually finished over the next several centuries, which accounts for the change in style.
Pretty as it is, the main reason to visit is to ascend the 368 steps (or take the elevator) to get a bird's eye view of the city. On clear days, you can see into the foothills and perhaps a couple stone and snow peaks of the Dolomites. Don't forget your camera!
There is a nominal entry fee, which is well worth the price. The tower is open during standard museum hours and closed on Mondays.
