The Tower of St.Nicholas from Bari

It was built in the XIII century and belongs to the the late gotish style. Its origin is dubious because it was built as guard tower in the Middle ages. It is made of calctufa, 35 mt. high, with 83 steps to reach the roof terrace, called Terrazza Palermo, to admire one of the most marvellous and unforgettable sights of the city and its surrounding landscape. It has been restored after 40 years and now is accessible for visits and exhibitions. The Tower shows double lancet windows with lava decorations.
