The city of a hundred towers, symbols of the power of the families of notables.
Once known as "the city of a hundred towers" Pavia now has only five: three in Piazza Leonardo da Vinci and two in Via Luigi Porta. Built between the 11th and 12th centuries, they are very similar to each other: square in plan, made of red brick, no decoration except for small narrow windows. Their function is still mysterious; their small size inside does not suggest that they were intended for military defence. Rather, they would have been the symbol of the power of the families of notables.

impressionnant
il était inattendu de voir les tours sur ma promenade aujourd'hui à Pavie. Ils sont impressionnants et j'en ai compté 3 très grands et proches les uns des autres et un autre dans une rue voisine. Je ne savais pas que Pavie avait aussi autant de tours même si je connaissais la tour civique près de la cathédrale qui s'est soudain effondrée dans un passé récent
