Leaning Tower of Pisa

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a famous Italian bell tower located in Pisa. Built between the 12th and 14th centuries, it is renowned for its unintended tilt caused by soft, unstable soil beneath one side during construction. The tilt, which reaches about 3.9 degrees today, makes it unique and visually striking. Engineers have worked to stabilize it over the years to prevent collapse. The tower is part of Pisa's cathedral complex and is admired worldwide as a remarkable example of medieval architecture and engineering, attracting millions of visitors each year.
