Still more random things from Florence.

One of the oldest buildings still standing in Florence. Today, the tower is part of a hotel in the ancient heart of the city. Apparently, the tower is round because its foundation was once a circular wall around a heated pool during the Roman era. Possibly dating from the 7th century, the building is known as La Torre della Pagliazza, or the Tower of the Straw Mats. For a time, the tower served as a prison for women, who slept on straw mats. You can stay in a hotel suite in the tower today. The suite costs about $2,400/night during Summer. A straw mat is available upon request.
