Garisenda Tower - Bologna, Italy - Human Error on Waymarking.com

"The Garisenda Tower is about half the height of the Asinelli tower that it stands beside. It actually used to be taller than the tower of the Asinelli but its top had to be cut off for safety reasons. Giovanni Visconti da Oleggio made the request for the resizing of the tower in the 14th century. It now stands a mere 49 meters or 167 feet. The tower does not have a very strong foundation and is still considered unsafe to enter, which is one of the reasons why it is closed to tourists."

"The Garisenda Tower today has a height of 48 m with an overhang of 3.2 m. Initially it was approximately 60 m high, but had to be lowered in the 14th century due to a yielding of the ground which left it slanting and dangerous. In the early 15th century, the tower was bought by the Arte dei Drappieri, which remained the sole owner until the Garisenda became municipal property at the end of the 19th century."
