The Guinigi Tower in Tuscany features a unique garden on its roof, designed to symbolize rebirth and renewal. The garden is shaded by holm oak trees native to the Mediterranean region, including Italy. According to legend, Paolo Guinigi, who became lord of Lucca in 1400, planted the tallest tree in the garden before his arrest in 1430. Tragically, the tree lost all its leaves before his death in prison in 1432. From the tower's height, visitors can see the nearby Torre delle Ore, a 160-foot-tall medieval tower.
