The Famous Garisenda Tower in Bologna Is Too Leaning!
No, it's not in Pisa—an Italian leaning tower is back at it! Instead, it's Bologna's Garisenda Tower, which has been closed off by authorities due to concerns over its collapse, along with the important piazza that sits next to it. These "twin towers," which are only a few meters away from the considerably taller Asinelli Tower (which is twice as tall), are iconic images of the city that have stood the test of time.

Al-Ma'mūn's Legacy
Nestled in the heart of Baghdad lies the historic district of Bab al-Sharji, its name, "East Gate," reminiscent of medieval fortifications erected in the early 10th century. A fleeting British presence during the closing stages of World War I saw the gatehouse transform into a garrison church, referred to as the South Gate, with the Bab al-Mu'atham, its counterpart to the north. Sadly, none of these medieval walls or the East Gate endure today. Yet, the mere mention of Bab al-Sharji invokes a vibrant picture of a bustling square, teeming with life, food stalls, and second-hand record shops surrounding a busy bus depot and taxi ranks. This district's name serves as a poignant reminder of Baghdad's storied past, from its founding in 762 CE as the new seat of power for the formidable Abbāsid Empire.
