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.

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

The tower houses the (Italian: Museo della Tortura), which provides scientific presentation of this subject matter.
