Torrazzo of Cremona

You're standing at the Torrazzo, the bell tower of Cremona Cathedral. Go ahead and tilt your head right back, because this tower rises more than 112 metres. That makes it the third tallest brick bell tower in the world. Only the towers of St. Martin's Church in Landshut and the Church of Our Lady in Bruges are taller. But those were finished in 1500 and 1465. The Torrazzo was already complete in 1309. That makes it the oldest brick structure over a hundred metres that's still standing.
