Leaning Tower of Pisa

The Leaning Tower of Pisa, a world-renowned architectural marvel, stands in the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, Italy. It is the freestanding bell tower of the Pisa Cathedral. Construction began in 1173, and due to an uneven foundation and soft soil, the tower began to lean during construction. It now deviates about 4 meters from its vertical centerline. The tower is approximately 55 meters tall and has 8 stories. Its exterior is made of white marble, and each story is surrounded by elegant arcades. Despite its tilt, the tower remains stable thanks to numerous reinforcement projects. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is not only a marvel of architectural history but also a subject of scientific research. Galileo Galilei conducted his famous free-fall experiment here. Today, it attracts countless tourists who come to witness its unique charm, making it a symbol of Italian cultural heritage.
