*** "Snow Throat" (aka the Throat of the World) is the Tower of Skyrim, and is also the tallest mountain in all of Tamriel. Its stone is said to be "a cave," but beyond that, little is known. It originally attracted the Falmer (Snow Elves) to Skyrim but it would fall into the hands of the [[HornyVikings Nords]] after their ancestors (the [[BarbarianHero Atmorans]]) nearly drove the Falmer to extinction. Despite already being the tallest mountain on Tamriel, Snow Throat's apex is said to only be "half there." Atop the mountain sits High Hrothgar, the monastery home of the Greybeards, who study the [[MakeMeWannaShout Thu'um]], the LanguageOfMagic of the dragons. It is also home to the "Time Wound," created when ancient Nord heroes used the power of an [[TomeOfEldritchLore Elder Scroll]] to banish [[BeastOfTheApocalypse Alduin]] in an age long past.

* ''Manga/CesareIlCreatoreCheHaDistrutto'' is about [[UsefulNotes/TheBorgias certain famous young people]] studying at the University of Pisa in 1491, so of course, that city's famous leaning tower features in the setting. So, at times, does the tower of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. But the author resists using them for dramatic effect. They do focus on another tower that's less famous, outside of Italy at least -- when the students read ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'' in class, the professor points out that in the story where Count Ugolino was imprisoned in a tower to starve to death along with his entire family, that tower is still standing in Pisa and very familiar to all the students. Later, several students jokingly threaten to have each other locked up there.
