Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa (in Italian: Torre pendente di Pisa), or simply the Tower of Pisa, is a bell tower (campanile or standalone bell tower) of the cathedral in the Italian city of Pisa. It is situated behind the cathedral and is the third oldest structure in the Cathedral Square of Pisa (Campo dei Miracoli), after the cathedral and the baptistery. Although intended to stand vertically, the tower began to lean to the southeast shortly after the start of construction in 1173, due to poorly laid foundation and unstable soil, which allowed the foundation to experience differential settlements. The tower currently leans to the southwest.
