"I admired the city's skyline - a sea of spires, towers and red-tiled roofs - but particularly the "dynasty towers", medieval skyscrapers constructed by the city's nouveau-riche merchants. Once, there were more than 50 such towers, of which some 20 survive, most funded by the city's medieval trading prowess."
