Torre dei Gualandi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Torre dei Gualandi or Muda Tower is a tower in Pisa that now forms part of the Palazzo dell'Orologio.
Ugolino della Gherardesca, his sons and other members of his family were supposedly immured in the tower and starved to death in the thirteenth century. Dante, his contemporary, wrote about Gherardesca in his masterpiece The Divine Comedy.
