Torrazzo of Cremona (The Bell Tower of Cremona).

---

This image shows the Torrazzo of Cremona (The Bell Tower of Cremona). The Torrazzo is the bell tower of the Cathedral of Cremona, Lombardy, in northern Italy. At metres (343 ft 6 in), it is the third tallest brickwork bell tower in the world, the first being the tower of St. Martin's Church in Landshut, Bavaria, and the second at the Church of Our Lady in Bruges, Belgium. However the Torrazzo (completed in 1309) is older than the Landshut tower (completed in 1500) and the Bruges tower (completed in 1465), and it is the oldest brick structure taller than 100 m that is still standing.
