LEANING TOWER OF PISA
Leaning Tower of Pisa is a bell tower at Pisa, Italy.
It is famous for leaning 4.4 meters out of line when measured from the seventh story.
It was built to stand vertically but began leaning soon after construction started in August 1173. It tilts because its foundation was built on unstable soil.
The ground beneath the tower first started to sink after the first three stories were built. The height of the tower is 55 meters from the ground. The construction of the building began in 1173 and lasted two centuries.
