Favorite thing: Some facts on the tower:
- The height of the building from the foundations to the belfry is c. 60 m.
- The tower weighs c. 14.500 tons.
- The Tower is shaped like a hollow cylinder formed by two concentric walls (in marble blocks) which contain mortar and matter.
- A spiral stair within the cylindrical body allows access to the arcaded storeys and to the summit of the Tower.
- The inclination is c. 5.5 degrees towards the south; this means that the seventh cornice protrudes about 4.5 meters over the first cornice.
- The staircase consists of approximately 300 steps.
