Torre del Diavolo

Devil's Tower (Italian: Torre del Diavolo) is a tower located in the north of San Gimignano, Tuscany, Italy, which flanks the Palazzo Cortesi.

[1] It is named "Devil's Tower" because of a legend in which the owner of the tower at the time returned home after a long journey, and "[was] convinced that it had grown taller, the only explanation for the phenomenon, he alleged, being that a DIY-inclined devil had been busy during his absence.

"[2] It sets the Torture Instruments Museums (Italian: Museo della Tortura),[3] which provides scientific presentation of this subject matter.

[4] It is made of white calciferous rock, possessing brackets on the top of the latter portion.
