Keywords: function fields | finite fields | rational places | genus | towers | graphs | completely splitting

We discuss the limit of a tower of function fields over a finite field.We give special attention to the case of recursive towers and we use some graph theory to investigate the behaviour of the completely splitting places of a tower.
